Corporates must pay fair share

Mobil is one of the largest shareholders in Refining NZ which owns and operates the fuel pipeline which leaked tens of thousands of litres of toxic fuel over the weekend near a precious wildlife sanctuary. According to the latest figures available, they made $2.8 billion in New Zealand, yet paid $0 in tax. Now the government is stepping in to help keep the planes taking off and petrol stations topped up. It's times like these that show why it's crucial that corporates, which benefit from public infrastructure, contribute their fair share into the public pool that funds it.
