Predictable. The Australian government is (at long last) seriously considering a tax on natural gas export. Only at 25% vs Norway's 78%, but hey I'll take anything.

But here comes the IEA suggesting the poor little mining companies won't like it. "Energy investors are like butterflies. When they are scared, they fly away,"

Somehow the companies keep investing in Norway, but Australia implementing a 25% might scare the investors away? Just shut up, IEA.
