The WA gov spent $400k on a report from scandal ridden Deloitte to say gas exports are good for the climate. But even Deloitte (who let’s face it would say almost anything they are paid to) were like.. um.. yeh… maybe not… So the government buried the report and just kept saying it anyway.

Imagine if we had a government that put the interests of Australians ahead of foreign owned gas corporations and other countries.... thepoint.com.au/news/251104-...

Coal seam gas has turned tens of thousands of square kilometres of QLD into industrial gas fields. For what?….export by foreign owned gas corporates who don’t even pay tax in Australia.

"Australians are getting ripped off by the gas industry," - Liam O'Brien, ACTU Assistant Secretary told the #RevenueSummit25 Analysis by The Australia Institute shows the ACTU's call for a 25% tax on revenue from gas exports would raise around $12.5 billion annually. #auspol

The reason taxpayers are having to bail out Australia’s heavy industry is that our governments let Big Gas export 2/3 of our gas and price gouge us…for our own gas! Gas exports have tripled wholesale gas prices and doubled electricity prices. australiainstitute.org.au/post/gas-exp...

Australian governments allowing the export of 80% of our gas is killing Australian manufacturing. Gas exports have caused the cost of gas for Australia's manufacturers to double over the last decade and are the #1 cause of rising electricity prices. thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Why is Tomago in trouble? Because @qldlabor.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social governments approved unconstrained gas exports, causing gas prices to triple and electricity prices to double. Gas exports are an economic disaster for Australia. australiainstitute.org.au/post/gas-exp...

Time the foreign owned coal, oil and gas corporates destroying our climate and making floods and fires worse started paying the costs … instead of Aussie homeowners! www.sbs.com.au/news/article... Support our climate disaster levy on fossil fuel exports🧵👇

More disgrace for the Big Four organised crime syndicate. It’s structural. Their whole business model is ripping off taxpayers. Our governments need to end their feeding frenzy, and employ public servants. www.afr.com/companies/pr...

You may have thought the LNP would no longer dictate Australia’s climate policies. But no. The LNP “welcomed the government's decision to rule out a climate trigger "after sustained pressure". www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

I wonder if the team that gives half our gas resources away for free every year has negotiated a good deal for Australia’s critical minerals? www.sbs.com.au/news/live-bl...

There, fixed it

The big gas and oil companies have been having it their way for too long. We are calling for a 25% tax on gas exports. This would have raised $17.1 billion in the 2023-2024 financial year. Enough to build 50,000 new homes.

So when we, Australia, meet Trump next week do we give away our minerals as well. I’m not at all confident the govt can make a deal that is in our favour.

To be fair It’s hard to find the spare change for the CSIRO when you’re giving around half of Australia’s gas away royalty free to multinational gas export giants, and not making them pay PRRT. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

My new report is out - Adani sold coal at mates rates to India, avoiding $400m in royalty payments to Queensland ...and Qld's LNP gov doesn't seem to care. Thread below on how they did it. Write up in @australia.theguardian.com @australiainstitute.org.au www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“The Albanese Government is committed to no new extinctions” Environment Minister Murray Watt, reaffirming Labor’s 2022 pledge on Threatened Species Day 2025 2 weeks later Australia’s only shrew is declared extinct. #auspol #climate @australiainstitute.org.au minister.dcceew.gov.au/watt/media-r...

Our governments are already caving in to pressure from the gas industry to export our domestic gas reserves. 90% of WA's gas is exported or used for export. We don't have a gas shortage problem. We have a gas export problem. @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

In 2010, the Aus and QLD governments allowed a handful of multinational gas giants to begin massive exports of our gas — a decision that's making Australians poorer today. ‘Our gas prices tripled, then tripled again...electricity prices doubled as well.’ @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

What do you get when Big Gas lobbyists AEP get scandal ridden consultants EY to do “modelling” to influence the Government’s policies? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Amazing/depressing stuff in #Estimates. Productivity Commish Chair Danielle Wood has been muzzled by the Government. Once a fierce critic of fossil fuel subsidies, now "not able to give an opinion" #auspol www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Finally a member of the Australian Government calling for Australia to reassert our sovereignty over our own resources, rather than letting Japan dictate our energy policy and endlessly rip us off. Thank you @edhusicmp.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

*Australia* isn’t facing a fall in export earnings. The freeloading, tax dodging, price gouging, foreign owned grifters we let export our gas are. www.afr.com/companies/en...

News that shocks no one: Carbon offsets do nothing for climate.

Reminder: Australia's only emissions reduction legislation - the safeguard mechanism - allows for unlimited use of offsets instead of requiring genuine cuts from polluters

To the NACC: can you tell us why there haven't been any public hearings into the Robodebt matter? .... .... .... NACC says: No comment.

The Australian Government gives foreign owned gas corporates our gas for free, so they can export it to Japan who on-sell it for a profit while Australians face shortages. Now our Resources Minister reckons we are going it for world peace lol www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Hey @albomp.bsky.social, what would The Donald say if an Aus company exported $17 B of American gas and didn't pay any tax? Texas' ConocoPhillips results in the latest ATO data. @australiainstitute.org.au @markogge.bsky.social

Why are Advance marketing instead of manufacturing? A group of pale, stale billionaire males bemoan the good 'ol days when we used to make cars So, they mount a marketing campaign instead of manufacturing cars Why the fuck don't they just make cars? 🐝 #auspol

So the NSW police are trying to stop the pro-Palestinian rally… like they did with the nazi flag wavers protest… … oh, right but they didn’t! So it’s only protests against Israels genocide that are a problem… Nazis are fine…I get it.

"As environment minister, Murray Watt should be protecting the environment. Reports and data clearly stated irreversible damage was occurring to Murujuga, but in his capacity as the envir. minister, he decided to allow further irreversible damage to occur” www.energynewsbulletin.net/operations/n...

Former WA Liberal Premier and resources minister Colin Barnett on Murujuga: thewest.com.au/business/ene...

The WA Government doctored the report so the Premier could falsely claim Woodside’s operation wasn’t destroying Murujuga, so Woodside could get their disastrous 45-year gas export extension approved. The gas industry has captured the WA Government. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Here's the ACCC today saying that gas exporters are ripping us off. Again. "gas being offered & supplied by the exporters to the domestic market has declined over time, while LNG export volumes have increased." @australiainstitute.org.au @markogge.bsky.social www.accc.gov.au/system/files...

What the absolute f#%ck. I just can’t believe I’m living to see an @australianlabor.bsky.social government just straight up complicit in a genocide. declassifiedaus.org/2025/10/01/s...

“…the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act, introduced by the Howard government in 1999, is misnamed. Its main role is to allow developments to be approved” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So it’s confirmed. @australianlabor.bsky.social caved in to Woodside, allowing Woodside to destroy Murujuga with acid gas emissions for another 45 years. One of Australia and the world’s greatest cultural treasures. Weak and complicit. www.afr.com/companies/en...

Oh awesome. Starmer is enthusiastically pro-genocide and has worse approval ratings than Liz Truss. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

MEDIA RELEASE: SA Premier spreads gas industry misinformation Premier Peter Malinauskas told an event sponsored by the gas lobby that a new gas project in Narrabri, NSW, is needed to firm up SA's electricity supply. Our research, using the government’s own data, proves this is simply not true.

Yep, if you're going to do a range, why not 62% to 100%???

Australia’s target is 62% which is pathetic. The 70% is meaningless because we only have to reach 62% to meet the target. Australia continues its wrecking role in global efforts prevent climate collapse because our governments want to keep approving giant fossil fuel export projects.

Just made a few corrections to the gas industry billboard at Darwin airport. You're welcome Australian Energy Producers.

Sorry, but the government cant approve a 50-year extension of one of the largest fossil fuel export projects in the world...then 3 days later pretend it cares about the climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Just three days after approving an extension of one of the largest fossil fuel export projects in the world, the North West Shelf, the National Climate Risk Assessment reveals the devastating consequences facing Australia. #auspol Media release:

...and yet the Australian Govt just approved a 50 year extension of one of the biggest fossil fuel project in the world, Woodside's North West Shelf gas export terminal It will add 90 million tonnes of emissions annually, equivalent to 12 new coal power stations www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Limits on emissions to protect the Murujuga rock art have stalled negotiations between the Government and Woodside over the North West Shelf extension. Protecting Australia's cultural heritage should be the Government's top priority. Not gas industry profits. @markogge.bsky.social #auspol
