Australia has a significant opportunity in our gas exports.

Other countries have used resource revenues to build sovereign wealth funds that deliver long-term public benefit.

A fair return on gas exports could help build a fund that invests in Australia’s future.

Credit to 🇯🇵 for putting the Japanese people first and having an import tax that brings in billions.

It's time for 🇦🇺 politicians to put Aussies ahead of the interests of multinational gas exporters and having a 25% gas export tax.

Japan has used this money to build a 90 day fuel reserve while successive Australian governments have said fuel security is too expensive and have settled for 30 days.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Labor, the Coalition and One Nation all just voted against an amendment I put up to call on the Government to get a fair deal on the sale and export of Australian gas by instituting a 25 per cent tax on LNG export revenue, which is estimated to generate $17 billion a year.

They're running a protection racket for the gas industry rather than standing up for Aussies.

*Senators Lambie, Payman and Thorpe were unable to attend the vote for personal reasons.

🚨 NEW: Netflix secretly recorded an interview with Dr. Jane Goodall in March, set to air only after her death.

In it, she says she wishes Trump and Elon Musk could be blasted into space… and closes with:

“Don’t lose hope.”

Now that’s a final message.

@DrCameronMurray They are learning gambling from a very young age now.

The video games my kids play all have elements of gambling psychology in them, random rewards, "loot crates", etc.

A message from Climate Council CEO Amanda McKenzie on Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

We are thinking of the millions of Australians who are securing their homes and preparing their families for Cyclone Alfred's landfall. Please heed emergency warnings and stay safe.

The Australien Government and the Opposition have made an ad to announce the 2025 election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol #2025election

Extremely disappointing that @Bunnings Ozito brand tools don't have spare parts available for repair.
Even though the manual of my Ozito hedge trimmer says the 2 carbon brushes are meant to degrade over time and be replaced, Bunnings/Ozito don't stock spares.

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

The “real” US Government has made an ad about the 2024 election and it’s surprisingly honest and informative 🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅

You either stop eating meat to stop society from collapsing; or you stop eating meat because society has collapsed: either way your days of eating meat are coming to an end.

I love Barack and Michelle Obama too but no politician has the right to talk about hope while this is the case and there is no credible plan to even tell the public the facts let alone genuinely deal with it

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Navarro: Let's be serious. Donald Trump and his minions call Kamala a communist. I know communism. I fled communism from Nicaragua when I was 8 years old. I don't take it lightly. And let me tell you what communist dictators do. And it's never just for one day. They attack the free press. They call them the enemy of the people like Ortega does in Nicaragua. They put their unqualified relatives in cushy government jobs so they can get rich off their positions like the Castros do in Cuba and they refuse to accept legitimate elections when they lose and call for violence to stay in power like Maduro is doing right now in Venezuela. Now you tell me something. Do any of those things sound familiar? Is there anybody running for president who reminds you of that?

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Sorry, but I have to agree with Trump. Crime is out of control. Just look at New York. There is a dude who was convicted of 34 felonies there, and he's still walking the streets.

[Environs Kimberley @EnviroKimberley]

A sad day for the environment in WA. Slashing environmental protection laws in a climate and biodiversity crisis at the behest of mining and oil & gas companies like Rio and Woodside for more profits ⁦@RogerCookMLA⁩ https://t.co/QQY3jSJo7p

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

Australia Institute research shows that 56% of gas exported from Australia collects ZERO royalty payments, giving away a public resource to multinational gas corporations for FREE.

Climate & Energy Principal Advisor @MarkOgge explains.
