Welcome to war-flation

While in 2024 US President Donald Trump won votes off the back of falling living standards and rising prices, his current war against Iran is creating a far worse economic storm.

The Albanese govt is considering an East Coast gas reservation policy. And ok... but how about putting a 25% tax of gas exports so we stop giving it away for free?

The big reason electricity cost so much is gas. Gas is the most expensive form of electricity generation (aside from battery) and yet often determines the price. Tax gas exports, raise $17bn, help compensate households and also fund the transition to zero emissions

The mining lobby is weak right now. Perfect time for strong env laws, @albomp.bsky.social Last week the Minerals Council and gas lobby literally threw a party and no one (important) turned up. My piece on it for @thenewdaily.bsky.social @australiainstitute.org.au

It's the perfect time for the government to defy the mining lobbies

Long-gone are the days when the mining industry could claim to have the power to topple prime ministers and governments.
