Since the mid 1990s, Norway has imposed a 56 per cent "special tax" for oil and gas companies, alongside a 22 per cent corporate tax rate.

Australia could learn a lesson from this and make companies pay their fair share for our natural resources.

The Australia Institute proudly co-hosted a climate summit yesterday, attended by people from all over Australia.

And although there were lots of different views, everyone agreed on one thing: it's time to stop the expansion of fossil fuels.

This is a great piece by Michelle Pini

Marr's attitude in this was so obviously personal, so much so that his loudly wounded ego overtook the interview, falling victim to the #NotAllMen syndrome, and clearly taking Hedge's journalism criticisms as an attack on him personally.

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes.

When govts want to do something, they do it.
When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse.

No one here should fall for it
