The point was never beer tax. The point is why ordinary consumers reliably pay up, while the PRRT somehow manages to underperform in a country swimming in LNG profits.

We are one of the world’s biggest gas exporters, yet the federal government collects more from taxing beer drinkers than from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax on offshore gas. Ordinary Australians pay more for a slab than multinationals pay for extracting our shared resources. If that is not a broken system, what is? Time for a proper inquiry and a fair return to the public.
