@falcennial also and just for good measures - #gasexportTax will not drive up that magic elusive creature called #inflation https://thepoint.com.au/factchecks/260324-factcheck-will-a-25-gas-export-tax-cause-higher-inflation-no-it-will-actually-lower-inflation

Factcheck: Will a 25% gas export tax cause higher inflation? No, it will actually lower inflation

On Monday, journalists asked if a 25% export tax that helped pay for cost-of-living relief would “just increase demand and worsen inflation”. No, it will lower inflation.

Australia has absolute stonks of gas. We're exporting 83% of it as LNG while households and manufacturers get screwed by sky-high prices linked to the global market.
Gas industry: 'A 25% export tax will cause shortages, job losses, and hurt Aussies!'
Reality: We've got enough for domestic needs till 2050. This is just greedy exporters protecting their record profits while paying peanuts in tax. Norway and Qatar tax the hell out of theirs and the industry thrives.
Time to stop being played for fools. Tax the exports, give Australians a fair return on our resources. 91% of readers agree — poll after poll shows it.
Big Gas can cry all they want. The gas belongs to us, not their overseas shareholders.

All I can say is that if #Labor doesn’t get a substantial #GasExportTax in the May budget (preferably sooner), then it will have missed a golden opportunity, given them absolutely free of political fallout, and brand them as cowards and enablers of immoral #Grifters — a sure defeat at the next elections.
