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 has absolute stonks of gas. We're exporting 83% of it as LNG while households and manufacturers get screwed by sky-high prices linked to the global market.
Gas industry: 'A 25% export tax will cause shortages, job losses, and hurt Aussies!'
Reality: We've got enough for domestic needs till 2050. This is just greedy exporters protecting their record profits while paying peanuts in tax. Norway and Qatar tax the hell out of theirs and the industry thrives.
Time to stop being played for fools. Tax the exports, give Australians a fair return on our resources. 91% of readers agree — poll after poll shows it.
Big Gas can cry all they want. The gas belongs to us, not their overseas shareholders.

This is exactly what happens when corporations run a nation.
Massive welfare for the rich — trillions in bailouts, subsidies, tax loopholes and sweetheart deals — while they pay basically zero effective tax. The result? A country bled dry, with working people left holding the bag for endless deficits and crumbling services.
Sound familiar, Australia? Our mining multinationals, Big Tech giants and foreign-owned energy firms do the same thing here: rake in billions from our resources and markets, dodge tax through havens and loopholes, then lecture us about "budget emergencies" when it's time to fund Medicare, NDIS or affordable housing.
Corporate capture isn't just an American disease — it's global. Time to tax the bastards properly and put people and planet before profit.
