Transformation
The Australian Taxpayers' Alliance is an activist and advocacy organisation committed to representing the everyday Australian taxpayer. Through grassroots campaigning, we fight to oppose over-regulation, wasteful spending and burdensome taxes. Our mission is to transform our nation and build a better, freer Australia.
Our Mission
At the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance, our mission is to give a voice to the millions of Australians quietly going about their lives and paying their taxes. It is our job to stand between the greedy hands of government and the money Australians work hard to earn.
We Believe
We believe in protecting civil liberties, fighting against government interference in our personal lives, and putting an end to over-burdensome regulation that stifles prosperity, destroys businesses, and holds back working families. Our members believe that with a focus on common-sense tax and regulation we can build a better, more prosperous Australia that benefits all.
Our Impact
In 2011 when the Federal Government announced drastic changes to energy policy, there was national outcry against yet another burden on Australian taxpayers. Campaigning against these radical changes marked the birth of the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance, and we’ve been growing ever since. We publish free market ideas in major national news sources Radio and TV, including on Sky News and SBS The Feed. Our articles have been featured in The Australian Financial Review, The Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Newcastle Herald, The Hill, Quillette, Spectator, RealClear Policy, Foundation for Economic Education, Freedom Today, CapX, Quadrant, The Verdict, LibertyWorks and Online Opinion and countless other publications within Australia and internationally.
Our campaigns have impacted and ultimately transformed the policy positions of Federal and State Governments to ensure a better option for Taxpayers, businesses and Australian families. Our grass-root campaigns have activated tens of thousands of civic-minded people who want to live in a better, more prosperous Australia.
There is no art which one government sooner learns of another than that of draining money from the pockets of the people.”
