From Cathy Wilcox, who, like anyone who pays income tax, pays more in tax than is raised from the 56% of gas that is given away completely free.

Only Australia could make adjusting tax on resources during a cost of living crisis because we didn’t do it during a period of prosperity sound like multinat energy companies are somehow getting ripped off and being hard done by.

Buddy, it’s clearly you don’t know whats going on. The reason why there is no export tax is because our biggest FUEL trading partner do not wants it, our only leverage of getting those FUEL is because of no taxes. You and Wilcox are so brain dead.

To be the devils advocate… the gas doesn’t just leap out of the ground, cool itself down and load onto a ship. There are a lot of people employed by the gas/oil industry of whom the overwhelming majority are Australian!
Aught the government put in place a windfall tax on gas profits because of the war? I think probably yes. But this sort of rhetoric that the oil and gas industry does NOTHING for Australians I don’t like and is easily torn down and attacked.

I’ve lost faith and belief in the political system. We vote them in but they do not work for us.
