@PeterLG Ah yes, can’t possibly ask gas giants to pay a fair share. That would be “risky”.
Much safer to keep profits flowing offshore and, what, start trimming things like the NDIS instead?
Energy giants are pouring millions into advertising campaigns to block a proposed gas export tax, while Australians are left dealing with higher energy bills and cost of living pressure.
There always seems to be endless funding for lobbying and spin, but resistance when asked to pay a fair return on public resources.
As the inquiry hears evidence, critics argue the system is tilted heavily towards multinational profits over national interest.
Gina Rinehart suddenly deciding taxes are terrible when they touch gas profits is peak billionaire logic. If windfall taxes are “unfair,” maybe the real issue is letting multinational fossil fuel giants pocket our natural wealth while everyone else cops the costs. Tax the windfall, fund public services, and stop pretending “energy security” means corporate security.
The AFR can bang the drum against a gas windfall tax all it likes, but it’s worth remembering its parent company has big shareholders who may benefit from mining and resource profits. That doesn’t prove the argument is wrong, but it does make the billionaire panic look a lot less convincing.

Between 2004 and 2014, Apple routed European profits through Ireland at an effective tax rate of 0.005%.
Not 5%. Not 0.5%. 0.005%.
The EU ordered Apple to repay EUR 13 billion in back taxes. Apple fought the ruling for eight years. In September 2024, the EU's highest court confirmed it.
When you buy European software, the tax money stays in Europe.
