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

Finally an Australian Parliamentary inquiry proposed into why Australian governments have been giving away Australia's gas to multinational gas corporations FOR FREE.
Will the major parties who have been giving the gas away for decades support it?

Not only does the Australian Government give Japanese gas export giant Inpex all the gas it exports from Darwin FOR FREE, and lets them pay virtually no tax...
Inpex "systematically underestimated' by 40X leaks of cancer causing benzene near Darwin.
Consequences?

The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

Talk about ART OF THE DEAL!
SA Premier Malinauskas lands deal for SA taxpayers to pay over $12 GJ for gas Santos sells to Korea for probably about $6.

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.

Independent Senator David Pocock has added his voice to calls for a 25% tax on gas exports.
@markogge.bsky.social explains why Australia taxes beer more effectively than its gas exports.

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.

Great to see the PM sticking up for those plucky little foreign owned gas multinationals making $ gazillions exporting Aussie gas our government gives them for free
Against mean (but true) allegations that the pay less tax than Aussie beer drinkers!

Do beer drinkers pay more tax than gas companies?
Yes, they do!
Beer excise > PRRT
Beer drinkers' income tax > gas company income tax

The Albanese Government just approved another huge coal mine- that will make Australia hotter, drier and cause more frequent and extreme disasters.
236 million tonnes of emissions over its life = double Australia's annual emissions, 1200x Vanuatu.

While coal and gas companies are making millions in profits from burning fossil fuels, it's our communities footing the bill for climate disasters.
A climate disaster levy would make polluters pay for the damage they cause!
@markogge.bsky.social #auspol
If the our government doesn’t do the same, Australian families will be left with massive insurance costs, while the fossil fuel corporates make $billions.
Support the @ausinstitutearchi.bsky.social Climate Disaster Levy on fossil fuel exports.

This should be a major scandal.
Global fossil fuel corporates like Woodside, Chevron, Glencore, Exxon and BHP are making Australia hotter, drier and wrecking your life.
Fully backed by our governments.
Support @australiainstitute.org.au call to make them pay👇

. @australianlabor.bsky.social is approving massive new fossil fuel projects like Woodside’s North West Shelf, making Australia hotter and ruining your life.
Oh… and it won’t stop at 50C
www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
The Albanese Government’s constant justification for approving new gas projects is we need gas to “firm renewables.”
Well, good news… turn out we don’t!
So @australianlabor.bsky.social you can stop approving new gas projects.

If you think coal and gas corporates like Woodside, Chervron, INPEX and Glencore, who are fuelling these disasters should pay the costs…instead of YOU!

The Albanese Government has decided to risk Victoria's 90 Mile beach so foreign owned gas corporations can explore for gas.
It will be almost entirely FOR EXPORT and our Government will give them the gas FOR FREE.

While we're being told there isn't enough Australian gas for Australians, Japan is making billions selling our gas to other countries!
Japan is reselling more Australian gas than is used in Victoria, NSW, QLD, Tasmania, SA, and the NT COMBINED!

Great piece on tax & inequality by Mark Zirnsak from @taxjustice.net @unitingchurchau.bsky.social
"tax breaks are a big deal. They gave away $18.65 B of revenue in 22-23, as much as the Federal Gov spends on public schools or on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme."

More and more you can’t play outdoor sports without fear of heatstroke, you can’t go camping for fear of fires etc etc
Fossil fuel corporates like Santos are destroying everything we love about living in Australia…and laundering their image with sponsorships.

The Australian Government's own Gas Market Review finds Australians face gas shortages because that very same Australian Government allows multinational gas corporations to export 4X more gas than Australia uses every year.
Oh, and they give them most of it FOR FREE.
