ACOSS just dropped the mic on gas giants: time for a proper 25% levy on exports, not some weak temporary windfall tax. These multinationals have been getting our gas basically for free, raking in $100b+ windfall profits from global crises while Aussies cop skyrocketing fuel bills, a housing emergency, and shredded social supports.
$17b a year could actually fund energy rebates, proper income support, housing, health, and renewables — instead of subsidising fossil fuel exec bonuses. Even One Nation and some Libs are open to it. The Albanese government should listen to ACOSS, the unions, the Greens, and the overwhelming majority of Australians. Tax the gas barons, help people doing it toughest. No more free ride for foreign multinationals on our resources.

I seek Native American / American Indian input on a personal project and set of social campaigns that aim to resolve the political-philosophical tensions of and paralogical gaps within and between several projects of my own --- projects that, I hope, lend credibility to a tentative campaign of my own for local, state, and federal offices over the course of the next thirty years. If you, or someone(s) you know are Native American, indigenous to North America, or an American "Indian", please reach out and/or direct those persons to me. I seek to honor personal and cultural autonomy while practicing the principles of plurality and inclusion: our diversity _is_ our equity.

We are one of the world’s biggest gas exporters, yet the federal government collects more from taxing beer drinkers than from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax on offshore gas. Ordinary Australians pay more for a slab than multinationals pay for extracting our shared resources. If that is not a broken system, what is? Time for a proper inquiry and a fair return to the public.

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill -- despite profits hitting $90B -- thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.

Quite a return on investment, huh?
