Aussies pay more tax on a stubby than the gas barons pay on billions in exported LNG.
Senator Pocock is spot on: time to end the great gas giveaway. Slap a flat 25% tax on exports, rake in billions for housing, health, & renewables instead of letting multinationals leach our resources for peanuts.
Beer taxes > PRRT? That’s not a policy, that’s a scam. Fix it now!

Aussies are stunned: Treasury just confirmed we’ll rake in $2.7B from beer excise in 2025-26… but only $1.5B from PRRT on our massive offshore gas exports. We’re one of the world’s biggest LNG exporters, yet multinational gas giants pay less tax than punters pay on a slab.
This is broken. Gas companies dodge super-profits tax with endless deductions while everyday drinkers get slugged. Time to fix PRRT, slap on real royalties or a flat export tax, and build a proper sovereign wealth fund for future generations—not corporate handouts.
Why are we taxing beer harder than billion-dollar gas rip-offs? Tax the extractors, not the exhausted.

@idoubtit yeah, it's really poorly thought out.

I understand the government wants income from the users of the roads to maintain them.

They had decided that gas taxes were the appropriate way as you pay more when you buy more gas to travel more on the road.

Since EV's don't use gas that no longer works. But an exorbitant tax on EV's is dumb.

Replace the gas tax for ALL cars, gas and electric, with a annual "tax" based on the mileage traveled in the last year. Not hard and also fair to all.
