English – The Conversation | Politics with Michelle Grattan: former minister Ed Husic on why Labor must ‘stare down’ gas companies over tax by Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

In the lead‑up to next month’s federal budget, Treasurer Jim Chalmers must juggle global uncertainty, a fuel crisis and cost‑of‑living relief while weighing reforms to negative gearing, capital‑gains tax, a gas export tax and the NDIS. Former industry minister Ed Husic argues that Australia is “selling the country short” by earning almost nothing from about $170 billion of LNG exports over four years and insists Labor should “stare down” gas‑company pressure and pursue a fairer royalty or Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. He welcomes the Senate inquiry into gas taxation and warns the Albanese government not to be intimidated by multinational threats to relocate investment. On artificial intelligence, Husic calls for a comprehensive national AI Act and a dedicated regulator to set guardrails now rather than adopt a lax, reactive approach. He also urges stronger action against Islamophobia and antisemitism, recommending the Bondi royal commission broaden its remit and the government implement anti‑vilification laws and respond to the Human Rights Commission’s anti‑racism framework.

For Australia The Price is Always Right

Australia has signed up to another war without debate and without clarity. The costs are already visible, in rising prices, strained supply chains and a deepening entanglement that blurs the line between ally and participant.

What are zettajoules – and what do they tell us about Earth’s energy imbalance?

When James Prescott Joule lent his name to a unit of energy, he could not have foreseen today’s alarming calculations

AUKUS
The dead duck.
This outstanding article 👇says everything and more about just how badly Aus govt has been played for utter fools.

All that money down the American drain. Its probably gone to Trump for missiles and his fcking ballroom, when we need it here for housing, hospitals, wiping HECS, aged care, NDIS, govt schools, building rail networks and oh yes green tech to disinvestment from oil.

The weakest link: Australia’s submarine hopes depend on the UK, but Britannia no longer rules the waves

If the US is unable to provide Virginia-class submarines and the UK’s timeline to build the Aukus class falters, Australia could be left with nothing

The Guardian

Every Australian needs to read this and write to Albanese to STOP AUKUS PAYMENTS NOW.

We have utterly been played for fools. Thanks to Morrison.
In 2025 we were scheduled to pay 4 instalments of $800,000,000 to Trump for AUKUS - ostensibly to pay for the shipyards needed to build our subs.

This seems now to be a total joke: we are paying America to build subs that THEY will use and control.

$3.2 billion just thrown at USA for the crappiest deal under the sun. Albanese could've used that to build homes for young families or infrastructure for green energy or give "support" money for bushfire affected townships or aged care salaries or HECS reduction .. or .. or ..

But no its gone to Orange Turd bc Albanese refuses to reduce dependence on America.
Im way beyond rageful.

Sorry.
Are we going insane ?
How are we allowing 2000 yr old questionable religious texts to come into our POLITICAL REALM ?

Faith should be personal and private

● FAITH does not belong in POLITICS ●
