“Guardian Australia has spoken with several other Labor MPs who believe there is support within caucus for the change.

One Labor MP, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said, “I’m getting a lot of heat and I think David Pocock’s run a pretty good campaign on this.”

A ‘campaign’??? Yes, as far as politicians are concerned, it boils down to #electionability and nothing else. Never mind that what #SenDavidPocock has done (along with the #AustraliaInstitute) is to shed light on the #GasExport #Rort and that everyday Australians are paying for the outragous #Profits #Corporate gas companies are making (not to speak of the #Japanese #onselling of Australian gas - the Australian cow that keeps giving away free milk).

“They [unnamed Labor politicians] said reform on gas export taxes in the budget was important, but said Labor would have to go harder on gas companies than the current PRRT, or there would “not be much point”.

As well they should. ‘Bout time Labor did something that requires #gumption IMO. Go fast, go hard. Ignore #FossilFuelINdustries bleeting noises, it’s all #lies and #disinformation in any case.

‘It’s fired people up’: support grows, including within Labor, for new gas tax to curb wartime profits

Government, industry and opposition see growing public support for a new gas tax but the industry is fighting back

Further to my last toot, “The Chamber of Minerals and Energy WA said Australia had been shielded from international gas shocks because investors saw the country as a “stable, reliable place to invest”.

The chamber’s chief executive officer, Aaron Morey, said the proposed tax would risk “undermining that reputation and damaging the living standards of future generations of Australians”.

“At exactly the moment we need more gas, not less, this would dramatically escalate sovereign risk,”

1) We don’t need more gas we just need a Domestic reserve (To stop the bastards selling all of it off at record profits
2) Denmark taxes their gas industries to a level that would make Fossil Fuel exec cry in public, yet the investment still came and no operator quit the sector.
3) The #Fuel and #Gas Industries employ less than 28,000 full time jobs combined (Source: Australian Institure and ABS). The #FossilFuelIndustries are not the most important job creators, ever and their push for automation underscores that fact.
4) Australia is a stable and trusted investment recipiant because of its democratic institutions, not because Executives say so.

/end_of_rant. I think…

Thinking aloud here…

If our govt keeps on subsidising #extractiveIndustries and more specifically #FossilFuelIndustries until the latter are driven out of business (being hopeful here) by renewables, how are we going to finance the clean up of the mess they’ve left behind?

1) end exractive industries subsidies (esp Fossil Fuels)
2) increase the PRRT to something meaningful like 80% (a la Denmark)
3) do it now!

"Fossil fuel interests in the classroom
Branch said there have been "systematic attempts to provide teachers with misinformation about climate change in the hopes they will relate it to their students," with material coming from "very strongly ideologically motivated" climate change denial think tanks, such as the Heartland Institute, as well as from the fossil fuel industry itself."
Hunger for #climateliteracy easily fed with misinformation from #fossilfuelindustries

Where the fossil fuel industry tries to teach kids climate

As the long arm of the fossil fuel lobby enters the classroom, some US science teachers are finding their job requires more than simply imparting knowledge and wisdom.

#FossilFuelIndustries are driving us to extinction

In the most untouched, pristine parts of the Amazon, birds are dying. Scientists may finally know why

Populations have been falling for decades, even in tracts of forest undamaged by humans. Experts have spent two decades trying to understand what is going on

@berniethewordsmith but also, politicians and political parties (and media) who are prepared to take money from the #FossilFuelIndustries and the #Billionaire are not your friends. Today's result is absolutely as much the fault of the #Democrats as it is of #Trump – they were serving the same masters and therefore could not present a clear and compelling alternative.

"Osprey Orielle Lake, spoke on the revolutionary change needed, including the rights of nature law. She is asking the governments of the world to adopt a universal declaration on the rights of nature at the conference today. She said it is time to put #MotherEarth at the center of decisions, not financial institutions."
