@BinManIan@tonytardio Firstly Norways government own 67% of the national oil company, so they also spend a significant amount on the projects. Secondly I don’t think $458M for one year is insignificant … especially given the amount spent on local goods /companies during operations
@BinManIan@tonytardio Despite paying reduced income tax due to asset write downs (COVID era) there is still a significant amount of tax paid via royalties (reference Santos 2023 annual tax statements). This does not also include landholder compensation for onshore operations.
But Labor takes WA for granted. Anthony Albanese says one thing in Perth, then does the opposite in Canberra.
Only the Coalition will back the industries that keep WA strong—mining, gas, agriculture and manufacturing.
More mines. More gas. More jobs. That’s our plan.
We can’t afford a Labor-Greens Government that would be a disaster for Western Australia.
Great to speak in support of WA industries and jobs at @westaustralian Leadership Matters this morning.
Labor is running scare campaigns and peddling untruths because they dare not run on their record of:
⬇️ declining living standards
↗️ higher prices
⤴️ increased taxes
🆘 government spending out of control.
$600bn, 4% of the grid, Not ready til the 2040s
👆These are all LIES about nuclear power
Here's the facts:
1/ '$600bn Cost'
This figure is from the 'Smart' Energy Council (renewable lobby group). It extrapolates the cost of Hinkley C (the most expensive nuclear power plant ever) and literally doubles it. Even the CSIRO assumes lower nuclear capital costs for Australia.
2/ '4% of the grid'
This figure is also from the 'Smart' Energy Council from dividing 11GW of nuclear capacity by 300GW of renewable capacity. However, Capacity ≠ Generation. 1GW of renewable capacity generates roughly a third of the power of 1GW of nuclear capacity.
3/ 'Not ready til the 2040s'
The IAEA predicts it would take 10-15 years for a new to nuclear country to have nuclear power. The is the advice the Australian Government relies on for nuclear yet is being ignored by the PM & Energy Minister.
These claims must be exposed. The nuclear disinformation campaign has gone too far.
Also, no wonder the private sector isn't interested in nuclear in Australia. It's literally illegal right now in Australia.

@aboutceltic Don’t think Sindre Walle Egeli is within the price bracket unfortunately. club were looking for something close to £21M if not more. Not saying I wouldn’t take him though
@MarkOgge Don’t you spout shutting down gas?
Easy to say this in retrospect after the gas has already been sold, and secondly most likely wouldn’t have been developed without any of the overseas buyers paying for it (both in buying the Gus and helping build the projects)
