I'm staggered by the gall of these foreign owned gas corporates INPEX and Chevron lecturing Australians. Both get ALL the gas they export (that belongs to Australians)-FOR FREE! Neither pay PRRT despite making massive windfall profits selling our gas.

No guarantees of LNG investment, say industry giants

Labor’s gas policy instability has dented the appeal of Australia and recent investments are no guarantee that they will continue pouring more funds into the resource sector, two of the country’s...

Not only will Woodside drill into a pristine reef, pumping vast amounts more fossil fuels into the atmosphere, for gas that is entirely for export… .. but they will get the gas FOR FREE. Australia/ WA get NOTHING.

Other big gas producing nations like Qatar and Norway would never be so stupid. They ensure they have plentiful gas, tax the hell out of them and their citizens are rich as a result. 9/10

Norwegians get a fair share of oil and gas revenue, Australia does not.

Australia's and Norway's economies both have massively profitable resource industries, but Norwegians receive a much larger and fairer share

Note the dishonest straw-man argument Minister King uses. She says “ending fossil fuels immediately would lead to “economic catastrophe” But NO-ONE is suggesting “ending fossil fuels immediately.” They are protesting massive NEW fossil fuel projects

King blasts ‘extremist protesters’ over bid to end oil, gas

Resources Minister Madeleine King has blasted the protesters who targeted Woodside boss Meg O’Neill’s home, saying ending fossil fuels immediately would lead to ‘economic catastrophe’ for Australia.

I have never seen climate carnage on the scale of the floods here in Pakistan. As our planet continues to warm, all countries will increasingly suffer losses and damage from climate beyond their capacity to adapt. This is a global crisis. It demands a global response.

Unbelievably, no gas export company has paid any Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) ever (according to Treasury), and over half the gas is given away royalty free, 73% in WA. 6/10

Australia’s great gas giveaway

According to the Australian Government’s Future Gas Strategy, gas is “critical” to the nation’s economy.

US oil giant Chevron, that pays virtually no company tax in Aus despite multi-billion profits, but received $60m handout for CCS project that failed for first 3 years- has just cut 30% of its Australian workforce ....gas fired recovery anyone?

Chevron swings the axe as 30% of workforce gone

CHEVRON Australia this week has fired 230 workers and made 180 voluntarily redundant equating to some 25-30% of its Australian workforce.
