This is people powered impact in action. 

In last night's Budget, one of the most business-aligned governments ever delivered an enormous crack down on corporate tax dodgers — including one of our key asks, a Diverted Profits Tax, to stop multinationals shifting their profits offshore. 

This is testament to 18 months of hard-fought campaigning by tens of thousands of GetUp members working with allies to hold corporate tax dodgers to account. Not to mention the supporters who funded our groundbreaking report to expose the horrific extent of corporate tax dodging. 

But we promised you a real competition. 

Now that the Turnbull Government's handed down its Election Budget, Labor has just 30 hours until their Budget reply. This is Labor's opportunity to show what an alternative government would do. 

If they match the Coalition's corporate tax package, or go one better, it'll mean a bipartisan crack down no matter what.
