“No music on a dead planet”.

At Lime Green Festival, the artists brought the beats and a message for the Anthony Albanese government: it’s time for a 25% tax on gas exports.

Whether you’re outraged you’re paying more tax on your beer, or you just think billion-dollar gas companies should pay their fair share, taxing big gas greed is a no-brainer.

Australians are paying more, while gas giants rake in billions and hand back next to nothing. That’s not fair, and it’s not sustainable.

Tell Anthony Albanese it’s time to tax big gas greed.

Join our free online session - Solar Slice in Action: Funding Climate and Nature on Tour.

Learn how to turn your shows into real climate impact. Hear from Oli Leimbach (Lime Cordiale), Heidi Lenffer (FEAT. initiative), and Tim Shiel (Green Music Australia) on how Solar Slice works, and how you can apply it across to your next tour.

“The Solar Slice is one of the simplest and most rewarding things we’ve ever done. Just $1 from every ticket has helped restore rainforests, protect the Great Australian Bight, push a bus company to switch to biodiesel, and tackled South Australia’s algal bloom. A tiny contribution per person has made a massive collective impact.” – Oli Leimbach, Lime Cordiale.

🗓️ Tue 21 Apr, 2pm - 3pm AEST

For artists, teams & music lovers ready to create impact 🎶

Hey Albo 👀

A 25% tax on gas exports could bring in over $17 billion every year - that’s serious funding for climate solutions and real relief for Australians doing it tough with the cost of living.

On behalf of Aussie musicians and the wider community, we’re calling on the federal government to introduce an ongoing 25% tax on gas export revenue.
