A reminder that gas is not a vital industry to Australia. As Polly Hemming explains, if anything, it costs the Australian economy. Some more gas myths debunked here: https://thepoint.com.au/factchecks/251111-does-the-gas-industry-really-support-215000-jobs
'Great...now tax the gas!' The prime minister dismissed calls to implement a 25% gas export tax as a "social media campaign". Our research shows it could raise $17 billion a year that could fund vital services...and the PM's replies are lighting up about it. 🎧 theaus.in/4tPVYv7
We just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to all of you amazing people out there who are supporting the call for a gas export tax! And shout out to Swan River Band for sending us this cracking track - enjoy! #auspol
The government might be about to change the way trusts are taxed, getting rid of a tax dodge used mostly by the very wealthy. Treasury estimates that around 63% of all income from trusts goes to the richest 10%! @grogsgamut.bsky.social @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social #auspol
Premier Peter Malinauskas’ decision to overturn SA's ban on gas fracking is not only irresponsible, but also unnecessary. Australia doesn't have a gas shortage problem, we have a gas export problem. And fracking in vulnerable farming communities won't fix it. #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social
"Every gold mine pays a royalty for gold. But more than half of the gas we export is given away royalty-free." Add your name to the petition to fix Australia's gas export problem: https://theaus.in/fix_gas_export_problem
Did you see our billboard truck in Bondi, NSW? 👀 Australia’s great gas giveaway has now reached more than $70 billion. That's revenue the government is estimated to have lost that by failing to implement a 25% gas export tax. ✍️ Sign to support a 25% gas export tax ➡️ https://theaus.in/3R8Lh9o
The US & Australian governments insist that the AUKUS submarine deal is "full steam ahead". But there appears to be a big gap between that political rhetoric & the reality, says Guardian journalist Ben Doherty. "The US is getting slower at building submarines, not faster." 🎧 theaus.in/43vlCKI
Woodside wants you to think we need more of their gas to support the transition to renewables.... 🤔 Even though they export the vast majority of the gas they get from Australia...on top of getting most of it for free! @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol
A 25% tax on gas exports wouldn't just raise $17 billion a year to fund essential services. It would mean more Australian gas sold to Australians! @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol
PM Carney: "The pipeline will only be advanced with the following prerequisites being met. The first is the building of pathways ...

SEN. MARK KELLY: "Khamenei being dead is a very positive thing for the region."
Donald Trump is unfit to serve as President. His erratic behavior and dangerous rhetoric make that clear. We have legal processes for moments like this, and his Cabinet has a duty to the American people to invoke the 25th Amendment. This war is immoral. It is illegal. It must end now.
