Why didn’t Australia follow Norway’s lead and make sure gas wealth benefits the public? At the #RevenueSummit26, Independent MP Nicolette Boele called the decision not to create a similar regime to Norway "irresponsible". A 25% gas export tax could raise $17bn every year.

Speaking at the #RevenueSummit26, Greens Senator @barbarapocock.bsky.social said "nowhere is the perverted nature of our tax system more clear" than when it comes to gas. "Every day we fail to tax our gas exports we lose $50 million and every year we lose $17 billion," Senator Pocock said.

Labor’s home care co-payments have forced older people off essential supports, but it’s even crueller for Stolen Generations survivors whose redress payments are means tested. This injustice can’t continue. Labor should back the Greens push to exempt redress from means testing.

The Great Gas Giveaway just hit $78billon. And look, tbf, the gas companies are doing it tough. The government choosing to not do a 25% tax on gas exports is only fair - not like there are any needs currently being unmet... health, education, care, poverty, disability... live.thepoint.com.au
