Twinkle 13 / Resources
Mining profits: dig it up, buy the news.
We dig up the country, a few blokes get rich, then they buy a newspaper to explain why we should be grateful.
A 15–60 second vertical Twinkle, filmed or AI-generated, with the sound of urine tinkling in the background. Start with the gripe, land the joke, then point to the fair-go fix.
Brainstorming scenario
Resource wealth: show the public return and the influence
A resource receipt would follow the full project, including production, ownership, public payments and cleanup. A community wealth fund offers a further question: could some return build assets that stay useful locally?
Short video script
We dig up the country, a few blokes get rich, then they buy a newspaper to explain why we should be grateful. A resource receipt would follow the full project, including production, ownership, public payments and cleanup. A community wealth fund offers a further question: could some return build assets that stay useful locally? Publish a project-level receipt for production, ownership, taxes, royalties, subsidies, cleanup liabilities and local benefit.
