Mar 29^th, 2025 at 8:27pm Why has the Australian Government been exporting most of our natural gas to overseas investors just so they can sell it back to us at a much higher price? We don’t get paid royalties or even tax them!! https://x.com/pepedownunder/status/1904728472746156142?s=61&t=pr9sQbfDnRXI42Hsv2...

Remember who really runs our country right now!

It's the gas cartels and the foreign corporations.

How about no politicians are allowed to go work for corporations or lobby groups that they made the rules for while in government?

THIS one move would do more than any other "cost savings" measure governments have thought of to date.

You’re right, the exporters are private companies from which the Government collects little [relatively] in taxes.
The gas industry gets an almost free ride at the taxpayers’ expense.

They pay huge salaries to a large number of Australian workers.

In what sense do they get a "free ride"?

The rumor is that our taxes on gas are very low compared to many other countries:
Denmark, Norway & many Arab states.

Free ride
‘’Australia Institute research shows over half (56%) of gas exported from Australia attracts zero royalty payments, effectively giving a public resource to multinational gas corporations for free.’’
In WA, which exports a lot of gas,
‘’Just 0.7% of the state’s workforce is employed in oil and gas extraction.’’

And just how does paying salaries [of any amount], justify avoiding paying taxes?

I'm pretty sure I do not pay any royalties either. But turning that into a claim that I pay no taxes just lacks common sense. 0.7% is a lot. Probably mong the top 10% in salaries too.

.. and if gypoes can sell dope - Marla?? Where are you? This gets juicier by the moment - and I want you to think on this - these people prosper on crime here and their kids become the new elite...... get the best education etc and the honest folk are left behind again. How long have I been warning you about affirmative action putting people into positions in government?

And to think how many years our cops went after anyone they came across and made them out to be baddies, just to keep them under control in the old convict colony style inherited - how many good Australians were harmed for no reason in that way? Look at Ned Kelly... now look at these scum leading the high life - next time you see one of these shunts towing the HMAS Melbourne up the highway for holiday, you know where they get the bread that you can only dream of in your perpetual nightmare of believing in honest work for honest pay:-

Forgotten your history?

The Colony of Victoria separated from NSW in 1851 so its origins are just as much convict as NSW.

Who cares, Eugene? I am from the only free founded colony in the Commonweath - South Australia. The place where settlers paid a nominal fee to come to and to settle down. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes
