Australia Is Not Broke. It Is Being Managed Like a Clearance Sale.

We are one of the wealthiest resource nations on earth. The minerals, gas, and gold beneath our feet belong to every Australian, yet we collect a fraction of their value while our citizens compete for fewer than 1 in 100 available rental properties.

Norway made a different choice in 1990. Thirty-five years later, every Norwegian has a notional A$560,000 in their sovereign wealth fund. Australia has built nothing equivalent.

This is not a left or right issue. It is a question of whether Australians own their own country.

Same Resources. Different Choices.

Norway and Australia both struck oil and gas. One built a $3 trillion savings fund. The other built a housing crisis. The only difference is policy.

How this is calculated
The resource gap is $274 billion per year ($383B exports minus what we currently collect). Divided across 27.1 million Australians, that is $10,115 per person per year not returned to the public. The dividend figure shows what each person would receive under a 10% National Resource Royalty on export earnings.
