Corruption at the highest order...I've always said Australia is one of the most corrupt countries in the world..

Absolutely corruption. Set themselves up for life outside of politics

Far worse than you might imagine. I have been monitoring this since 1975, when the US coup was launched unannounced and unopposed.

This is how our politicians all become millionaires. They are literally selling out the people they claim to represent with backhand deals. Every one of the ones making executive decisions on Australia's access to its own resources needs to be thoroughly audited.

We are doomed.. our living quality is going down the drain ..

@@melvinleong3731that’s what they want.

What about subsequent governments.

Labor's minister for resources Martin Ferguson presided over a number of the legislative changes which allowed gas extractors to avoid tax before he retired from politics and became a fossil fuel lobbyist. He helped BG group sell QLD gas to the Chinese. I' ll do a post above, so much corruption including ASIC.

@@RenegadeRanga You can still be corrupt and incompetent . One doesn’t necessarily discount the other.

@@RenegadeRanga”or” implies an alternative. In any case, one can indeed be both. It depends what kind of competence is being assessed. For example, one can be a very good liar, but woefully unable to demonstrate genuine leadership. These often go together. Often in Canberra.

I personally know a lot homeless people in Western Australia and every single one of them is on the meth or a alcoholic , don’t make out anyone except themselves are responsible for there life choices

that is exactly what it is

Ask the Labor Minister of the time who, when he left Politics, took up a Senior position with.....a major GAS COMPANY, surprise, surprise.

@@lambsypte4482and blame the media for not shining a very bright light on these issues

The money will never make it us

The easiest way to make sure corporate tax is paid is to introduce an electronic debit tax, mandatorially collected by the banks at a rate of 2%. Yes, I said 2%. That is all that is required because currently, 97% of revenue is paid by wage and salary earners. The debit tax has been well researched and 20 years a go surveys showed 98% of Aussies supported this proposal.

Australia is dead in the water…

@@tobybrown1179 We need to break with the Anglo American regime that controls practically everything in this country ie: banking and finance,foreign policy,energy production and policy and of course our mineral resources. A public people’s bank is the first step towards self determination , and the big private banks worst nightmare. Why do you think they fought so hard to privatise our commonwealth bank, and got rid of the Whitlam government when they wanted to nationalise our mineral resources.

Why don't you do something about it then.

Yes! we get 5 billion in royalties for our gas, but Qatar whom exports the same amount gets ...... wait for it yes 75 billion in royalties and it exported the same amount of gas! as Australia.and our government wants to give the land and Australia back to the Aboriginal mob. Whom in 40,000 years or so produced nothing or even had a written language, look at what the other countries did in the same time, discover the art of making iron, casting metals (gold silver), made and built houses, castles, roads, vessels to sail the oceans etc but the Aboriginal mob built did diddly squat in all those years, my friends we hard working Aussies are being squeezed out of our own country by our elected village idiots in government.

But you forgot that the politicians wouldn’t have their overseas jobs!

If Australia got more money the pollies would only squander it. No free anything.

But what do you expect from a penal colony. Kevin Rudd wanted the Super profits tax on those companies and effing liberals shot it down.

Hanson is a Zionist, she lost my vote

When Gough Whitlam wanted to buy back all the Leases The Media and Liberal Party called it Communism

And do what with them? We shut down most the smelters etc because it was too costly. If you don’t sell it your broke

Whitlam tried to buy back all the mining leases.

Yeah if that was the case, yeah we are about there. PS DID YOU ACTUALLY VOTE?

87% of Australia’s Resources are Foreign Owned; by US, UK, Canada, Japan, China in that order. The largest Importer of Australian Products has been China. but Australia patrols the South China Seas with the US. Australia joined AUKUS Treaty - an alliance whose “enemy” is China! When Japan became too successful, the US destroyed their Economy by 1990; and Japan never recovered.

No. Gas is unhealthy to breath, causing 12% of asthma cases. A disaster for babies & children. Also gas is more expensive than electricity compared to efficient electric appliance such as heat pump HWS, RCAC. & Induction stoves are way better than gas.

Labour back in the day

@@smileydave3907 since when did Howard work for labour cos he's the one that signed the contract

Now that labor are in power they should nationalise these industries.

Doesn't anyone remember the mining company ad blitz, backed by coalition campaigning when Rudd tried to push the PRRT for miners to pay their share..?

"Dr" Chalmers won't touch this because he has PTSD from when the miners yelled at him and Swanny (worlds greatest treasurer) years ago. So as long as the corporations make a dollarydoo and Australians pay the highest energy prices all while single-handedly saving the environment, that's fine.

All it takes is an INFORMED vote. Instead of voting like our fathers did.

We ARE.!!

@MarkHardstaff-p6i Yes, really, look it up.

they wont they like the money and retire early labor has stuffed up our jobs

These resources belong to the Australian people NOT to the government or any corporation. So where is the money going?

It is easy. Put government into administration. Many senior public servants would gladly come out of retirement and relaunch sane government. It would ake just four years to put Australia in the black and every worker in full time jobs.

When Labor did try to do something about it over 10 years ago were you cheering on the Liberals when they and the mining industry destabilised the Labor government and rolled the prime minister effectively destabilising the country for over 10 years

the ALP can't because of the contracts signed by the LNP, some in the 99 year length. Howard started it and Scomo extended them

Both of the 2 major parties have got us to this point but the blame falls at the feet of the voters that kept them in power to do this to us.

They busy inserting their names into the list of 'winners' ...

@@JBSbass they could fix it. They are the law makers after all!

@@beesplaining1882 do you know how contracts work? What it costs to break them? Tax payers would be up for every cent these miners invested in labour, equipment, future earnings, the list goes on. Scomo made sure that Labour coming in would never have the political will to change it due to gigantic cost involved to do it. Which is why they give us households lump sums to offset the bill shock.

You are NOT helpless. Every single vote counts, where we are all helpless is the naive public continues to vote for these corrupt financially benefitting treasonable politicians from our UNI PARTY SYSTEM. stop being helpless and help yourself in order to help every Australian.

Of course we could but we are the most brainwashed country on the planet beside Finland and Germany. A true vassal state of the USA.

Australia’s petroleum resource rent tax: Paul Keating, Peter Walsh and other game changers ABSTRACT It is now timely to examine the important area of the 1980s reform of petroleum resource taxation, about which there is scant analysis, compared to other Australian Labor Party reform initiatives from that era. The questions concern the roles of Paul Keating, as Treasurer and Peter Walsh, as Minister for Resources and Energy, in petroleum taxation reform. Bourdieu’s social practice theory is used to analyse the consultative process of resource rent tax policy to legislation, which culminated in the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax Assessment Act 1987. This Act introduced a tax on profits, over a specified threshold, generated from the sale of petroleum commodities. To revisit the story of the 1980s petroleum tax reform, this article draws on primary archival documents, predominantly from Craig Emerson’s private papers that cover his time (in 1984) with the Office of the Minister of Resources and Energy. Unique insights are obtained into the consultative process via his hand-written files and personal observations. The findings indicate that although Paul Keating, Bob Hawke and advisors such as Ross Garnaut played important roles, Peter Walsh should be given the most credit for progressing the petroleum resource tax policy in 1984, that later resulted in legislation in 1987.

Short memory. Don’t you remember when the Labor party tried to do something about it it your liberal buddies and the mining and minerals industry wage ya massive campaign against Labor’s initiatives to pull in a proper amount of royalties but the Prime Minister was rolled and we had years of 11-15 month prime ministers. Unfortunately what the government did try to do something about it the billionaires convinced the working class that is was a Labor money grab, that it would crash the economy and people would lose their jobs. Those people voted out Labor and now are the same ones now complaining that Labor isn’t doing anything about it. You had you chance
