It’s going to be fun times on Australia this summer. When your place is burning down remember the @albomp.bsky.social government has approved some of the biggest new fossil fuel export projects in the world.

The foreign owned corporations exporting Australia's gas to make an extra $27 billion in windfall profits this year. Our Government will give them most of this gas for free and Australians will get virtually nothing. Support a 25% tax on gas exports!✍️👇 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Faced with a gas reservation policy, the Big Gas exporters who have spent the last decade whipping up fear of a gas shortage now say supplying more gas will mean the Australian gas market is oversupplied. Great to confirm we don’t need more drilling! thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Great news! Australia's local governments have voted overwhelmingly to make foreign owned fossil fuel exporters pay for the costs of damage to the climate they are causing Instead of ratepayers! au.news.yahoo.com/polluter-pai...

Your daily reminder how much revenue the Albanese Government has NOT collected from foreign own gas corporations who get most of our gas they export FOR FREE. $72 billion. Thats $6,600 every Australian household missed out on. Sad day for you Aussies. gas.australiainstitute.org.au

The corporate press know their take is BS. They just lie continually because they are gas industry glove puppets. Even if some of this gas does go to households (unlikely) it just means more gas from other fields is exported. It’s a shell game. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Mark Ogge @markogge.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Why does the Australian Government prioritise foreign owned gas corporations over Australians? Japanese gas giant INPEX: - exports more gas than NSW, Vic and SA use combined - pays no royalties or petroleum tax - pays virtually no corporate tax australiainstitute.org.au/report/big-g...

WELD Australia CEO Geoff Crittenden adds his voice to support for a 25% tax on gas exports. "If a 25% tax on gas exports gives us $17 billion a year to invest, then the real question is not whether we can afford to act. It’s whether we can afford not to." thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Mark Ogge @markogge.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

This conflict is likely to drive global gas prices through the roof. Because the Australian Government gives most of our the gas to Big Gas exporters for free, and the PRRT is broken, Big Gas will make massive windfall profits and Australians will get virtually nothing.

Economist Chris Richardson on the PRRT "We made a mistake in the economics as we set it up and, as it changed from oil to gas, that mistake became a fatal mistake." That was 38 YEARS AGO...our governments have been literally giving our gas away ever since www.canberratimes.com.au/story/918833...

OK, so now virtually all the Independents, the Greens and One Nation support taxing the gas industry more in line with the majority of Australian voters. Only Labor and the Coalition seem happy ignore voters and let Big Gas keep ripping Australians off. thepoint.com.au/news/260226-...

Japan is on-selling even more gas than it imports from Australia … at a profit! Gas that our government mostly GIVES THEM FOR FREE They now on-sell 1.7X more gas than they import from Australia. Meanwhile Aussies left short and paying through the nose. ieefa.org/resources/ja...

Did you know gas exports not only drive your gas bills, but your electricity bills also? Even though gas is only 5% of electricity in the National Electricity Market (NEM), it sets the electricity price because gas is so expensive. australiainstitute.org.au/post/gas-exp...
