Election landslides aren't legacies, but a 25% gas tax could define Albanese's

The decisions made by Anthony Albanese in the next month will likely define Labor’s legacy for decades to come. Surging energy prices give the PM a unique opportunity to tax the gas industry, fund the services Australians are crying out for, improve the budget bottom line and expose the shallowness of Pauline Hanson’s support for ‘ordinary Australians’.

Ben Roberts-Smith is apparently either awaiting charging or awaiting trial for killing five people who simply did not need to die according to the laws of war. #lang_en #AUpol

Trust #AngusTaylor to make his welcoming speach to #Ursula_von_der_Leyen in Parliament (stiil going as I toot) to make it a racist and xenophobic rant. What an arsehole.

Declaration of defence #aupol #IranWar @AlboMP

RaymondPierreL3 Feb 27

According to the Australian Institute:
'latest polling shows Labor, Coalition, Greens and One Nation voters all support a 25% tax on gas exports.'

I guess that #AlboPM jammed tight against a decision wall that he doesn't seem to want to breach. Will the Libs and Nats pick it up or will they also man the ramparts and defend the indefensible?
