Despite #ARSEHAT #Albanese complaining that it is “dishonest”, the campaign for a #HigherTax on #GasExports appears to be striking home with voters, the #EssentialPoll shows today. #auspol

Working for the #multinationals, not the voters or #Australia.

I can’t wait to see the back of the man.

“From the 1980s onward, #oilcompanies - the paradigmatic #multinationals of the twentieth century - contributed to reshaping the rules of the #global #economicsystem in ways that would safeguard their #profits.” open.substack.com/pub/gzucman/...

Where are the profits of the war going ?

With the rise in oil prices, the profits of extractive companies surge—and a significant share ends up funneled through tax havens. But it’s not too late to tax war profiteers effectively.

This statment by the CEO of the Business Council Association is exactly what our #AlboPM is parroting publically:

“Mr Black gave evidence to the Senate inquiry on its second day of public hearings, arguing a levy would be “counterproductive” at a time when Australia needs more investment. […] Energy investors are like butterflies – if they are scared, they fly away,” he said, citing the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA).”

Which, of course, is absolute BS. All that investors need for incentive is a sound #BusinessCase that promisses #Profit. ANY PROFIT above the #CashRate will do. It doesn’t have to be the promisse of #Pilfering or #Sacking an economy FFS. ANy fool understands this. WHY doesn’t the #PM get it? If #AlboPM is not fool (and I have no reason to think he is), then HE IS COMPLICIT in the rape and sacking of the country by #Multinationals and the #ExtractiveIndustries - pure and simple (Because based on numbers, it’s not about jobs). And the #NationalSecurity ballon won’t fly here either.

I’m getting fed up hearing this neoliberal lie over and over and over again…

yes the deliberate #destruction and #exploitation of the #middleclass with not enough #lobbyism by (mostly the #finance #financial #lobby ) in #washington and #berlin is beyond scandalous
just look at effective tax rate of #multinationals like #amazon and the #smu small business and you have the first problem that no one adressed in 30 years #taxjustice #taxinjustice

Another day, another multinational gets a ‘record’ fine for trashing irreplaceable nature. Alcoa just copped $55M AUD for illegally clearing over 2,000 hectares of WA’s precious jarrah forest for bauxite mining (2019-2025). Called ‘unprecedented’ by the govt, but for a company with billions in revenue? Total slap on the wrist while they keep mining. Jarrah forests aren’t renewable. 😡
