Every year, Australian governments let gas companies export enough gas to supply Australians for 4 years They export the easier to extract, low cost gas, leaving us with high cost gas Gas exports drain our affordable reserves, and that gas is never coming back www.theleader.com.au/story/914046...

Miners exaggerating tax. Again. What's new is that this is so demonstrably false. Will they take down false ads? If you see this ad after today, please let me know. Debunked on @thepointau.bsky.social here, more below: thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

Hey young Aussies. The government wants rents and house prices to keep rising to keep the boomers and Xers who own multiple properties sweet. You’re own your own, sorry. www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

Cut the public service and don’t tax the gas industry. Good they’re clear about the priorities I guess… www.canberratimes.com.au/story/913421...

Will the government really introduce a gas reservation scheme that won’t work to appease the gas industry? "No other jurisdiction allows foreign companies to come in, write the rules, export the gas and give you nothing in return." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

So instead of requiring gas exporters to supply gas to Australian manufacturers at reasonable prices, the cost would be transferred to taxpayers. Let’s gas cartel keep price gouging Australians, and taxpayers foot the bill. Really!?! www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

A reminder Japan on-sells more Australian gas to other countries than is consumed on the entire East Coast of Australia. We don't need *more* gas, we need to tax our gas exports properly

The Albanese govt is considering an East Coast gas reservation policy. And ok... but how about putting a 25% tax of gas exports so we stop giving it away for free?

The big reason electricity cost so much is gas. Gas is the most expensive form of electricity generation (aside from battery) and yet often determines the price. Tax gas exports, raise $17bn, help compensate households and also fund the transition to zero emissions

I've been on bsky for a year I've been saying all year We don't need new gas bsky.app/profile/prof...

The gas industry’s charade is over. Australians know we have plenty of gas and excessive exports are the problem. 72% of Australians realise cutting exports is the way bring down energy bills, and just 28% think we need new gas fields. x.com/markogge/sta...

NSW Farmers pointing out the obvious fact that Australian politicians seem unable to grasp.

Western Australians are facing “gas shortages” within 5 years, despite 90% of WAs gas being exported! Woodside have supplied just 3% of Pluto gas to the domestic market. The WA government always puts the interests of Big Gas ahead of Western Australians.

Look at what governments do, not what they say. Labor is sweet talking about phasing out fossil fuels, while approving massive new fossil fuel export projects all over Australia. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Did you know gas exports not only drive your gas bills, but your electricity bills also? Even though gas is only 5% of electricity in the National Electricity Market (NEM), it sets the electricity price because gas is so expensive. australiainstitute.org.au/post/gas-exp...

Did you know, the QLD Government says coal seam gas fields on agricultural land in QLD can cause groundwater levels to drop by up to 500m? What an awful industry. www.ogia.water.qld.gov.au/groundwater-...

Korean-owned coal mines were stopped in NSW by local groups. Korea is now phasing out coal. This is why stopping coal and gas projects in Australia is so important! IT WORKS!! My piece on @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/news/251126-...

The gas “crisis” is “not because we don’t have enough gas, but because the gas that comes from beneath Australian soil is prioritised for customers offshore rather than customers onshore”. Spot on. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Boomer generation didn’t just "shape society" they strip-mined it. Free uni, cheap housing, stable jobs… then they voted to burn it all down. Now they clutch their assets while younger generations inherit debt, precarity and a collapsing planet. History will not be kind. #ClimateCrisis #degrowth

Honestly, it would be absurd for Australia to host COP31. Australia has 3X per capita emissions of Turkey, is a massive fossil fuel exporter and just approved a 50-year extension of Woodside’s North Shelf, one of the worst fossil fuel exports projects in the world. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Meanwhile Australia opens massive new fossil fuel export projects with vastly more emissions than all the pacific states combined. Australia is an out-of-contol petrostate, drowning its Pacific neighbours, and should not be allowed to host COP31.

Australia should be disqualified from hosting the international climate conference (COP31) Australia's emissions per person are 3X rival bidder Turkiye, and Australia is a massive fossil fuel exporter. Australia is an out-of-control petrostate using COP31 to launder its image.

Well, you’ve got to give @walabor.bsky.social credit for consistency in doctoring reports they commission that don’t support their claims about gas exports. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

Good question. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

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
