You don’t get tax free gas and all of it without years/generations of careful use of carrots and fear, people of Aus ripped off.

If there’s a better word than absurd for this 85% I’ve yet to hear it!

how about corrupt?

Lucky for them that it's free. But you know we hardly use any, what's wrong with the multinationals relocating it to a new home, it would only be wasted on us?

We’ve been duped. Time to get it back.

A very interesting graph
We can shift away from using gas in houses for heating & cooking, and we should, but the low hanging fruit isn't that
What gets used to export the gas is a much easier Path to net zero
Of course, the best way is to wean our customers off gas and sell renewable solutions

Not too green

And every molecule of fossil gas we extract from underground, regardless of where it is burned, damages Earth’s human friendly climate.

A question for the nerds ..... would it not be better economically to cancel/rewrite the gas export licences so those companies are contributing to the Australian economy, rather than being the drag on the economy as it is now.

The penalties that would need to be paid would no doubt reduce the income generated however we would not be having to spend money importing gas, #Thoughts #auspol
