One of the questions the Greens get asked the most is, how will we pay for our plans to address the cost of living crisis?
Well this week, we’re introducing a bill that will do just that.

Wages have stagnated, everyday costs are on the rise, and the biggest companies are hoarding away the money. We need to turn this around.
$1 billion a year could change the lives of so many everyday Victorians.
Making our state a happier, safer, and cheaper place to live, ensuring a better life for future generations.
It’s time to make these companies pay their fair share. Let’s prioritise household savings instead of bank megaprofits.
