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. -

@ApaulD If fossil fuel companies didn’t leave Norway because of its 75% tax…, it's because those fossil fuel companies were invested in, cementing Norway as one of the most corrupt fossil fuelled leaderships, complete with entries in the Epstein files.

Justin Papp reports, "Is a gas tax holiday really a solution?" Even Republican-leaning trucking and construction industries oppose President Donald Trump's gas tax plan. A pause could drain the Highway Trust Fund, vital for infrastructure. Learn more about the potential impact and industry concerns.

#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.

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?
