The fossil fuel and mining giants like Hancock, Santos and Chevron treating our democracy as a subsidiary while draining our natural resources.

What do you think?

Is excessive corporate and billionaire power the problem, or something else?

    A special shout out to Mike Zorro and the Property Council and their state branches. An unprecedented gathering of resources to capture governments at all levels and to make their interests a combination of TINA and ‘common sense.’
