@eco-g Standard accounting for many multinational corporations. This lack of oversight and poor regulation is not an accident. It's the result of decades of collusion and influence between government and corporate grifters. #taxation #loopholes #coffee #multinationals

“He (#PeterDutton) cites #DataCentres in the US where those #tech companies are having conversations with nuclear power providers:

The beauty of an #investment like #nuclear into the #Hunter region for example is you can attract the data centres which is exactly what is happening in the US. #Apple and #Oracle and #Microsoft, or these #companies are willing to spend tens of billions of dollars but they are only having conversations with #NuclearPower providers.”

“#PeterDutton says his office asked whether billionaire (Oligarch) #GinaRinehart's jet was available for event: #OppositionLeader Peter Dutton has admitted his own error after saying he had never requested access to billionaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart's #PrivateJet in his travels.”

Mr Dutton has previously #declared flights provided by #HancockProspecting, owned by Ms #Rinehart, but on Tuesday said "no" when asked if he had ever personally asked to be flown courtesy of the nation's #richest woman.

Fifth-generation farmers fighting to save their land
The Byrne family in western Victoria refuses to surrender their farm to a US-backed mineral sands mining company. They want to keep farming and pass their land on to future generations—but under Australian law, their options are limited.
Experts say landowners who resist approved mines face long, expensive legal battles with little chance of success. Is this what fair land rights look like?

Demonstratie DE STRAAT OP

De Dam, Amsterdam, zaterdag 24 mei om 13:00 CEST

de*beweging en anderen (bron)

Op 24 mei gaan we massaal de straat op. We hebben er genoeg van dat radicaal-rechtse angstzaaiers en populisten de politieke agenda bepalen - in Nederland en wereldwijd. Zij bedreigen wat vanzelfsprekend zou moeten zijn: een betaalbaar huis, een leefbare wereld, een open democratie. Kortom: onze burgerrechten.

Zij breken de tegenkracht af die elke maatschappij nodig heeft - de tegenkracht die voorkomt dat al het geld en alle macht terechtkomt bij een paar multinationals en superrijken. Hun agenda verdeelt mensen. Wij trekken samen op en versterken die tegenkracht.

Met duizenden mensen komen we op 24 mei samen en keren het radicaal rechtse tij. Doe je mee?

Ga met ons mee de straat op - en laat zien dat wij een solidaire samenleving willen!

Wij zijn de tegenkracht.

[aanvangsttijd is een gok, definitieve tijd volgt nog]

Last month, Tasmania faced an unprecedented crisis as over 5,500 tonnes of dead salmon were sent to waste facilities, according to the Environment Protection Authority. This staggering loss represents about 6% of the industry's annual production.

Not a peep from Australia's mainstream media! The Accountability and Corporate Transparency Coalition has praised the Australian government for passing world-leading tax transparency laws. These laws will require many large multinationals, including up to half of all major U.S. firms, to publicly report country-by-country tax and financial data for high-risk jurisdictions linked to profit shifting and tax avoidance. A big step forward for accountability!

Grote bedrijven, zeker multinationals, zijn toch de echte oplichters.

"Multinationals worden steeds handiger in belastingontwijking, EU-maatregelen ontoereikend"

--> "Door winstverschuiving van bedrijven wordt in de Europese Unie naar schatting 100 miljard euro aan belastinginkomsten misgelopen, aldus de Rekenkamer."

While farmers and other Catalans have been suffering water shortages in recent years, there’s one group of actors that appears to be immune, and even profits from water shortages: multinational companies extracting millions of litres of water from the very same land.

Large companies paid the Australian government a record A$100 billion in tax in the last year, a 17% increase on the previous year. But, over the same period, there were still 31% of large companies, operating here but not paying any tax. #auspol #taxtherich #multinationals https://theconversation.com/31-of-companies-are-not-paying-tax-in-australia-how-do-they-do-it-242695
