Want foreign gas companies to pay an export tax they extract from Australian waters?
If so, sign this petition to have a plebiscite to inform the parliament whether Australians want a gas export tax.

For the record:
David Pocock has also said nothing about the emissions, damages and deaths that gas + datacentres will cause from being invested in, in order to enable taxes. As Norway has shown: you get a tax from fossil fuels, you invest in them, you're shackled to them.

Oh, how handy. All these data centers are lobbying for gas, and we've got our "progressives" lobbying for a gas tax, which means more gas. Everyone is happy, except people + planet who wouldn't mind surviving.
Greenpeace, what took you so long?

@jhaue Are we going for comedy now? With our "progressives" shoving the gas tax concepts down our throats, does no one realise that a gas tax means *investment* + *enabling* gas, which means MORE gas?
HELLO?
That's what a norweigian style gas tax that The Australia Institute + NGOS + politicians are pimping!

(all the more reason, #TinaKotek, to quit regressive taxing of energy use, and start taxing the road interface: #tires)
"…the mixtures were far more toxic than the original #tirechemicals themselves and are far more toxic than the one compound previously implicated in environmental studies," says York Uni Associate Prof Ali Abdul-Sater…focusing on a single compound may substantially underestimate…risks associated with tire-derived air pollution."

Honestly that's less than MO already charges me for the privilege of driving an electric vehicle, plus going electric means I'm getting over on the IRS at tax time, so I'm not majorly worried about this. That said, I do wish they'd go with a mileage based system, at least here in MO we more or less have a system in place for that.

Is Australia missing out on a proper gas tax because the mining lobby scared Labor off before Budget night?
Michael West reports that Labor was looking at winding back diesel fuel rebates for big miners and taxing gas exporters, before both ideas suddenly junked. An insider told MWM that "We can’t afford another fight with BHP” echoing the campaign that helped bring down Kevin Rudd in 2010. -

#Trump says he supports a suspension of the #gasTax.
Even with the suspension of the gas #tax, highway robbery by #oil companies will continue.
Oil companies still make more money than before Trump started the #Iran war as global oil prices remain high.
With the abatement of the gas tax, the government no longer makes the money it used to make, even though oil companies keep getting fatter.
The answer is to impose a #windfallTax on oil and use that to subsidize gas.

The #gasTax position might be the single issue that both parties can agree on … & that would be fantastic in my opinion !
(Though a long shower might be required afterwards !! ) 😁🥂#Greens -
Here is convincing evidence that a #GasTax ought to be applied. Watch #AlboPM hunker down and stay resolute in the face of mounting evidence. His days as leader of #Labor are as numbered as those of #Starmer in the UK.

@gwendolenau
If it is, then why doesn’t he spell out what deals he made to secure #Fuel supplies. That’s my No1 beaf with him.Secondly, any #GasTax imposed now will have “No” effect on current constracts, all of which (I deduce from what I’ve read so far) are multi-year contracts, including #Japan (also has extensive refinery production and stockpiles of #Crude and #Gas) which is has multi-multi-year contracts at cheapest prices allowing them to #OnSell gas and make a profit on it (should be our profits).
Another possibility is that #Japan is a hefty #Investor (Shareholders) in the biggest Australian gas projects and #AlboPM is afraid to mess with such a ‘good’ relationship (even thought Japan is screwing us left, right, and centre)
So yes, good guesses. None of them (including mine) very convincing if this is what #AlboPM is so ‘mum’ about, unless there there is more to it. In which case, what is so ‘secret’ about it that he can’t bring himself to tell us? No, he’s just a #SecretiveLittleGnome I doubt his cabinet even knows the truth.

Below is a graph from Deloitte Access Economics showing the Australian economy.
It has expenses exceeding income.Looks like the responsible thing for Anthony Albanese to do is tax gas exports at 50%.
Anyone got the expected increase in revenue that we'd get to hand?

Australia Institute research shows that Japan collects more tax from Australian gas than Australia.
Japan, a country with no gas, oil or coal reserves of its own, collected almost $40 billion over the last five years while the Australian PRRT provided only $7 billion to Australians.

Australia’s gas tax debate heats up.
Norway’s sovereign wealth fund = $3 trillion. Ours? Not even close.
With 72% of voters backing a 25% gas export tax, why can’t we follow Norway or Canada?
Constitution & state vs offshore royalties are key. PRRT is broken – loopholes rife.
Alternatives? A 10% royalty or gov co-investment. -

If #AlboPM is resisting the #GasTax because he gave his ‘word’ to foreign gas recipient’s demands (aka Bullying) to not do so, then he’s a bigger mug than I thought and frankly not as savvy as he portrays.
One: Those mulit-year fixed prices gas export contract will outlast the #Hormuz debacle (plan?) so any increases the #Grifting Corporations might add to the price of gas will be felt years from now when contracts are to be renewed.
Two: The #Investors are also the recipients of the gas and a tax on gas will cut into their egregious profit margins. So who cares?Conclusion: AlboPM is complicit (knowingly or otherwise) to the rape and pillage of Australian sovereign #resources and a flight of our currency to foreign shores.
Ergo — kick #Labor out of govt and put the Greens in to fix this shit!

@kerravonsen yes, but there's been opportunity for those not in mainstream media - for the overlands, for crikey, the shot, NIT, whomever people *do* go to, to add in the voices that are missing.
Rather curious to find out what Raelene Cooper makes of taxing gas.
If she can talk about Woodside in MSM, why not taxing gas?

Big Gas is literally taking the piss out of Australia.
80% of our gas gets exported, yet 56% of it attracts ZERO royalties. Multinationals have pocketed $149 billion royalty-free while we pay the price at the pump and in our bills.
The Australia Institute made a killer TV ad to call it out – but they need our help to get it on air.
Every dollar helps make the politically impossible inevitable. Wakey wakey, Australia!

Almost like Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp might have a vested interest in keeping the gas giants happy.

Just be absolutely clear, Albo’s rejection of the gas tax reveals who runs this country and controls our politicians: Big Fossil companies who are destroying the planet’s survivable climate while keeping our government too poor to look after its citizens.

Our local community radio station puts their shows online for folks to listen to later, and tomorrow’s show is well worth a listen if you’ve been wondering how we could have well funded health, aged care, disability support, public education, climate action, and public transport… there is a way we could increase government revenues and it’s something lots of other countries already do.
From Annie, show host:
Tomorrow's climate radio show will be an exploration of the Senate hearings into taxing gas exports.Tune in at 11.30am on 2XX98.3FM or listen later at 2xxfm.org.au/shows/climate-community
