The Australian government just approved Woodside's gas project extension until 2070, effectively giving them $215 billion worth of gas for free while Aussie punters pay some of the world's highest energy prices. Corporate media covered it as "activists vs government" drama, completely ignoring that we're literally handing our wealth to tax-dodging gas cartels who don't even pay royalties #auspol #Woodside #gascartel #gas #taxdodgers

This week, the freshly re-elected #Albanese Labor government scandalously approved a forty-year extension on the operational life of the gas hub, a move that not only threatens the priceless petroglyphs, but represents permission for #Woodside (the massive gas company that basically runs the state of Western Australia) to profit off a #CarbonBomb that will, once extracted and burned, add somewhere between four and six billion tonnes of climate-wrecking ocean-acidifying carbon dioxide to the active carbon cycle. The cumulative climate pollution from the life of this one project will thus considerably exceed the sum of Australia's projected national domestic emissions for the next decade or more.
Of all the legacies of this Labor government, this decision (alongside giving the green light to dozens more coal and gas projects) will ultimately be the most impactful. The carbon released for the short-term profits of a wealthy few will contribute to massively disrupting and degrading the habitability of the planet for everyone, continuing to shape life on Earth for at least the next forty thousand years.

How 2000 Aussie punters helped me raise $85,000 to put billboards across the country exposing gas companies' tax dodging - including one massive billboard right outside #Woodside HQ where every executive can see that Aussie teachers pay more tax than their entire industry.

I snuck a billboard into the heart of Tokyo to expose how INPEX, Japan's government-owned gas corporation, is getting billions of dollars of Australian gas for free while paying zero royalties and barely any tax to Aussie punters. #punterspolitics #auspol #gas #gascartel #chevron #woodside #shell #Santos #inpex

It’s outrageous that Australian governments continue to prioritise the gas cartel and foreign interests over affordable electricity for Australians. As Rex Patrick reveals in the latest FOI documents, that’s exactly what’s happening.
In October 2022, nine months after Russia invaded Ukraine, then WA Premier Mark McGowan advised the federal government to follow his state’s lead on managing rising gas and electricity prices.

@ApaulD Why do people believe gas is the backbone of WA’s economy when 90% of it is exported by a few mostly foreign-owned corporations? These companies get most of the gas royalty-free, contribute less than 2% to the state’s budget, pay minimal taxes (if any), and still receive huge taxpayer subsidies.

The enormous Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa gas fields are hundreds of kilometres off the coast of #WestAustralia
To plunder it #Woodside want to drill more than 50 wells around the Scott Reef system; and pipe the gas 900 km along the ocean floor to a processing plant.
(1,500 species; resting and feeding area for migrating pygmy blue whales, manta rays, whale sharks, migratory birds, and green turtle hatchlings.)The EPA rejects #Browse part of #Woodside’s much larger #BurrupHub project.

“But there’s a problem. The enormous Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa gas fields are hundreds of kilometres off the coast of Western Australia – buried underneath pristine coral reefs. To access it, the company would have to drill more than 50 wells around the Scott Reef system and pipe the gas 900 km along the ocean floor to a processing plant.
“Now Woodside has an even larger problem. The state’s Environmental Protection Authority is signalling it will reject this A$30 billion project, known as Browse, which is part of Woodside’s much larger Burrup Hub project.”

The past two weeks have provided a fascinating insight into how the #gas industry uses lobby groups and the #msm to manipulate the public discourse and apply threats and intimidation to influence the decision making process of #Australia’s democratically elected government. #MurdochRoyalCommission #gascartel #mining #woodside #santos #shell
