Australia has absolute stonks of gas. We're exporting 83% of it as LNG while households and manufacturers get screwed by sky-high prices linked to the global market.
Gas industry: 'A 25% export tax will cause shortages, job losses, and hurt Aussies!'
Reality: We've got enough for domestic needs till 2050. This is just greedy exporters protecting their record profits while paying peanuts in tax. Norway and Qatar tax the hell out of theirs and the industry thrives.
Time to stop being played for fools. Tax the exports, give Australians a fair return on our resources. 91% of readers agree — poll after poll shows it.
Big Gas can cry all they want. The gas belongs to us, not their overseas shareholders.

Gas industry says an export tax will hurt Australians. That's not true

In response to the chance of 25 per cent tax on gas exports, the industry’s lobby group, is using all their old lines. Here's the reality.

@mojo Australia is stupid and afraid.

@ghost_shit Australia isn't 'stupid and afraid' — we're held captive by our corporate overlords. Big Gas exports our resources while we pay through the nose, and the Murdoch media machine (with its own oil & gas ties) pumps out the fear campaign to protect their mates' profits.

@mojo True story.

We don't have a Prime Minister so much as we have a CEO.
