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

Prime Minister gets doggy toy from INPEX. INPEX gets Australian gas for free, sold for $50 billion. Cool and normal. @australiainstitute.org.au @markogge.bsky.social @punterspolitics.bsky.social

“This cover-up is a national scandal. It confirms that Australia’s key regulators are either incompetent or captured by the gas industry, or both,” said @markogge.bsky.social. “That there are no consequences for gas companies failing to act on a major leak of methane for 20 years is a disgrace."

Australian gas policies have allowed the foreign-owned gas industry to siphon billions overseas away from Australian households and businesses. Climate & Energy Principal Advisor Mark Ogge unpacked the outrageous situation to Graeme Goodings on FIVEAA. @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

Foreign owned gas corporations export 80% of Australia’s gas, leaving us short and price gouge us for our own gas. The ACTU proposal for a 25% tax on gas exports would stop the rip-off, and raise 12.5 $billion/year for better housing, education and health. australiainstitute.org.au?p=29070

Yep, Victoria exports loads of gas to other states. But the QLD gas export rent-seekers, who have caused the east coast gas shortage and are price gouging us for our own gas try and shift the blame to Victoria. Honestly, only an energy minister or AFR journalist would believe them…

Fun facts about Chevron! 1. They get all the Aussie gas they export from FOR FREE 2. They’ve NEVER paid PRRT 3. They were fined $340 million for tax avoidance 4. Our stupid government is refunding half the royalties they’ve paid for Aussie oil to pay their cleanup costs 5. They’re massive whingers

Why won’t Labor release the “dire” “shocking” “extremely confronting” Nation Climate Risk Assessment? Perhaps because it doesn’t sit well with their policy approving massive new fossil export projects? www.afr.com/policy/energ...

You forgot another 50 years of carbon emissions

At the moment of truth, in the face of a genocide, it turns out far right US politicians and commentators like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Steve Bannon, Matt Gaetz and Piers Morgan have more moral fibre than @australianlabor.bsky.social

Principal Advisor Mark Ogge chatted to FIVEAA about Australia’s current gas export problems and why it needs to change. “We found out in May 2023, none of the gas companies had ever paid PRRT, which is the tax that’s been in place for 40 years.” @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

So the Western Australia Museum Science Week open day, focusing on the marine environment is sponsored by Woodside, who are doing more than any other company in Australia to heat and acidify our oceans, and bleach our reefs. visit.museum.wa.gov.au/maritime/woo...

Allowing foreign owned gas corporates to export 80% of our gas hasn’t just put up your gas bills… but your electricity bills too! As the chart👇 shows, expensive gas power stations largely set the electricity price in the NEM Renewables keep prices lower.

“We know how to fix the problems. We know what the science says. Centrism is restricting solutions.” Richard Denniss digs into the issue with the so-called ‘sensible centre’ in his Vantage Point Essay, Dead Centre: How political pragmatism is killing us. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Strange that MAGA stalwarts like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Green are way ahead of supposedly progressive @australianlabor.bsky.social who are still failing to even acknowledge the obvious genocide, let alone take any action.

"Let’s make the most of the gas supply that we have available, and make sure that that is a part of the solution to fixing people's energy bills." - Cassandra Goldie, CEO, Australian Council of Social Service #auspol

Warning Canada! Big Gas promised Australians LNG exports would mean plenty of low cost gas and enormous economic benefits. None of it was true. Instead we got gas shortages, manufacturing closures higher energy bills and few economic benefits. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

"The gas industry is ripping Australians off and our governments are letting them. "We don't need thousands more pages of inquiries telling us what we've known for years. "What we need is for our Government to stand up for the interests of Australians." @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

Did you know the Australian government’s decision to approve the 45-year extension of West Shelf gas export terminal is the greatest giveaway of Australia’s resources ever. australiainstitute.org.au/post/great-g...

Hmmm….I wonder if Chevron’s massive profits have anything to do with our Government giving them all the gas they export FOR FREE, letting them pat $0 PRRT, and making taxpayers pay their clean up costs?

Australians will be paying Chevron more than $500 million to clean up oil wells on Barrow Island due to a deal made with the Australian Government. “This is entirely the responsibility of the Australian and WA governments. They had 40 years to fix this terrible deal.” @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

Quite difficult to get the words "Nature Reserve" into a clear spot in this image.

Turns out our governments aren't just giving most of our gas away for free to foreign owned gas corporates They're also handing back the meagre royalties they do bother to collect! Big Gas has captured out governments. www.boilingcold.com.au/governments-...

The WA Government has let foreign oil company Chevron turn Western Australia's second largest Island, formerly a pristine Class A nature reserve into a "contamination site." Here is what it looks like now. State capture and regulatory failure. www.boilingcold.com.au/governments-...

Fun fact Woodside are siphoning off more gas from WA's domestic gas reserves for export from their North West Shelf export terminal than it supplies to WA under the domestic gas reservations policy!

WA and federal Labor are allowing the large scale export of WAs domestic gas reserves. WA Labor gave green light to Woodside to export WAs domestic gas reserves VIA NORTH WEST SHELF. Now the Australian Government has extended NWS for 45 years without its own gas! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

It’s almost like Australians are sick of our governments giving away our gas to foreign owned corporations who make massive profits and somehow never manage to pay much tax. australiainstitute.org.au The Australia Institute - We Change Minds

Santos face $6.3 billion liabilities to clean up 3 decades of environmental destruction… and some analysts say that “could underestimate the longer-term liabilities Santos faces.” All that free gas, bugger all tax ... and they’ve trashed the place. www.afr.com/companies/en...

The ancient Indigenous rock art on WA’s Burrup Peninsula has been deservedly listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Register. But the spectacular Murujuga petroglyphs remain under threat. Scientific evidence reveals that pollution from Woodside's gas export hub has seriously damaged the engravings.

Let’s be cleared eyed about what’s happened here. The Australian Government has misrepresented scientific evidence to successfully lobby UNESCO members to ditch conditions to protect Murujuga from Woodside’s acid gas emissions. This is all about protecting Woodside, not Murujuga.

Our research shows Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export extension will result in 4.3 billion tonnes of emissions. The best way to fight the climate crisis is to stop approving coal and gas projects. Read: australiainstitute.org.au/post/woodsid...

Can we cut the “renewable energy superpower” BS please? Who cares if @MurrayWatt approves a wind farm that might save two hundred thousand tonnes of emissions when he’s just approved a massive 50 year gas export extension with over 4 BILLION tonnes of emissions.

Yep, rather than protect Murujuga, @australianlabor.bsky.social ‘s Murray Watt is hosting a tea party with ambassadors of UNESCO member countries, trying to cut a deal so they ignore Woodside’s acid gas emissions destroying one of the Australia and the World’s greatest cultural treasures.

The Aus's Dennis Shanahan devoted a column to @australiainstitute.org.au 's new report on declining media power & this was the best he could do: "the big election editorial has never counted for much with voters. To suggest there’s been a decline of their influence ignores the political reality." 🧵

Instead of protecting Great Barrier Reef by stopping new fossil fuel projects, @australianlabor.bsky.social lobbied UNESCO not to list it as in danger. Now, instead of protecting Murujuga they’re back lobbying UNESCO to ignore Woodside’s acid gas emissions.
