For generations, our parent and grandparents have fought to keep our nation independent and free. Because of their sacrifices, Queenslanders own our land, out assets, and the resources that are underground too. That's why I backed new laws to make multinational companies pay their fair share of tax when they dig up our resources and sell them overseas.
The coal royalties legislation has officially passed in Parliament, marking a significant win for fairness and the future of Queensland.
It's only fair that big companies contribute their share, and these royalties will go a long way in supporting crucial initiatives, from easing the cost of living to improving our community infrastructure and services.
This wouldn't have been possible without your support. Thank you to everyone who signed the petition and stood behind this cause. Your voices were heard loud and clear. Together, we're doing what matters for Queensland.
The new laws ensure you are compensated fairly for the export of the state's valuable and limited natural resources - because Queenslanders own them at the end of the day.
Only a Miles Government can be trusted to do what matters for Queenslanders and our community. I will stand up every day to make sure your assets are Not 4 Sale and that big overseas companies pay their fair share.
