Matthew Benns - Dirty Money

Australian mining corporation and companies like to tell people they pay too many taxes, they saved Australia from the global financial crisis and they’re concerned about the environment.

They Lied.

Mining companies are digging faster to rip a swingling resource from our land. Watercourses are polluted, children are poisoned and conned famers watch helplessly as methane bubbles in their waterholes.

Overseas, Australia miners push people from their homes and recruit corrupt governments to ruthlessly suppress those who dare complain about the pollution.

This is the true story of Australia’s mineral boom. It is a story of greed, corruption and murder. Dirty Money is a book every Australian needs to read because it is the story of our national wealth and how those who have access to it are abusing the privilege.
