It bears pointing out the obvious, again, and again, until the general population *Gets It* before the message finally get through the thick ears of govt and those in power start to *read the room*.
“…on almost every issue listed below, the Albanese government has gone against public opinion. For example, more than three-in-five Australians support a gas tax, 83% say the supermarkets deserve some blame for the cost-of-living crisis, three-in-four Australians want a ban on gambling ads and 79% hold a negative view of Israel. On these big issues, the vast majority – from left to right – are in agreement. Yet, as we show below, the prime minister has repeatedly stood with powerful interests.”

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.

(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.

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. -

@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!

You shouldn’t be paying more tax than a massive gas corporation. Sign the petition for a minimum 25% export tax on gas to fund cost-of-living relief, so that Australia's resources benefit everyone.

Funny how Sky News Australia suddenly loses its mind the moment someone suggests taxing gas exports.
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. He’s a bit of a gasbag. #auspol #gastax #climatechange

Gina Rinehart suddenly deciding taxes are terrible when they touch gas profits is peak billionaire logic. If windfall taxes are “unfair,” maybe the real issue is letting multinational fossil fuel giants pocket our natural wealth while everyone else cops the costs. Tax the windfall, fund public services, and stop pretending “energy security” means corporate security.
The AFR can bang the drum against a gas windfall tax all it likes, but it’s worth remembering its parent company has big shareholders who may benefit from mining and resource profits. That doesn’t prove the argument is wrong, but it does make the billionaire panic look a lot less convincing.

While gas giants rake in billions, Australians get crumbs.
A citizen raised $80k just to be heard on taxing gas profits and building a sovereign wealth fund. That says everything about whose voices usually count.
Our resources. Their profits. Time to flip that.
