Other countries tax their oil and gas industries. Australia subsidies ours.

Our research found while gas prices boomed in 2022, LNG companies made windfall gains of up to $40 billion. PRRT take increased by less than $1 billion.

It's time to fix the tax loopholes that Big Gas exploits. #auspol

Adam Bandt is in serious strife. With 64% of the vote counted, Labor’s Sara Witty leads by 2,899. Postal votes — likely to favour Liberals — would funnel even more preferences to Labor. Albanese might pull off the staggering: toppling two party leaders in one election
