Gas barons are LYING to our faces again.
Australia exported 81 million tonnes of LNG in 2023 — worth ~$86 billion.
Qatar did 80Mt worth ~$83 billion.
Qatar’s government pocketed $56 BILLION.
Australian governments got $11 BILLION.
Next year PRRT? A measly $1.5 billion — less than we collect from beer excise. While Aussies pay through the nose for petrol & power, foreign-owned giants (96% of the industry) scream “don’t tax us or we’ll stop investing!!”
25% windfall/export tax NOW. Our gas, our money. Fund the cost-of-living crisis, not Qatar-style profits for Woodside & Santos.
