WHERE'S YOUR SHARE?
Australia is one of the world's richest resource nations per capita. Every year we dig up, pump out, and farm billions in national wealth from our mining, gas, hydro, and agricultural sectors. Find out what's actually coming back to your community — and what could be.
Three steps.
One uncomfortable truth.

We map your region's resource extraction — mining, gas, salmon, hydro — against what's been returned in royalties and infrastructure over twenty years.
See the Gap
The calculator shows you what Norway would have captured from your region's wealth, versus what Australia actually kept. The difference is your missing share.

Your missing share.
Enter any Australian postcode to see what's been extracted from your backyard, what returned in royalties, and what a Norwegian-style sovereign wealth fund model would have built instead. Interactive calculator covering mining, gas, hydro, and emerging green sectors.
Same resources.
Different decision.
This is not a left-wing argument. It is an arithmetic one. Norway and Australia both discovered enormous resource wealth in the twentieth century. One kept its share. One did not.
The resources beneath and around Australia belong to Australians — present and future. When a mining company extracts iron ore from the Pilbara, or a foreign corporation farms salmon in Tasmanian public waterways, or a gas company pumps LNG from the Browse Basin, they are drawing down on a finite national inheritance.
Norway faced the same choice we face. In 1990, they established the Government Pension Fund Global, capturing the majority of petroleum revenue for future generations. Today it is the world's largest sovereign wealth fund — $1.7 trillion, $320,000 for every Norwegian citizen.
Australia has exported comparable resource wealth. We have nothing equivalent to show for it institutionally. The revenue funded recurrent spending. When the boom ended, the money was gone.
The resources that remain are still ours to manage differently. Green hydrogen, green ammonia, the Tasmanian hydro surplus, the fertiliser independence we could build — these are the next generation of resource wealth. The question is whether we repeat the same mistake or make a different decision.

This campaign was built by a Tasmanian who has watched his state's resources — salmon farms in public waterways, hydro assets built with public money, timber from public forests — generate wealth that largely leaves the community rather than compounding within it.
The Where's Your Share? calculator is a public education tool. It is not affiliated with any party. It is grounded in publicly available data from the ABS, Geoscience Australia, the ATO's corporate tax transparency register, and the Norwegian Government Pension Fund's published accounts.
The argument it makes is not left or right. It is mathematical. Norway kept its share. Australia did not. The resources that remain give us another chance to choose differently.
