is counting how much revenue Australia has missed out on by failing to tax gas exports every second. It's up to $68 billion and rising!

Australia's Gas Giveaway ā Live Revenue Tracker
Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports would raise $17 billion each year to fund essential services. Nearly $50 million every single day, seven days a week, flowing to multinational LNG exporters instead of Australian schools and hospitals. This single policy could have funded free childcare or free university and TAFE for all Australians over the same period. Help take on the gas industry!

Even if one were to accept that everything Israel has done in Gaza has been justified as self-defence, what it continues to do in the West Bank more than qualifies it as a rogue state on any legal or moral basis - UNLESS you believe that the Palestinian people have literally no human rights.
