Approving Woodside's huge gas export plant for another 50 years would mean approving:

🔴 Higher energy bills for West Australians
🔴 90 million tonnes of emissions per year (as much as 12 coal power stations)
🔴 Destroying ancient Murujuga rock art

And for what? They pay minimal royalties & no PRRT.

Oh, I'm pretty sure they pay someone.

There is to be no expansion of any gas fields anywhere in Australia or offshore until we get the PRRT or a new tax setup to tax all resouces at 78%.

We have a favourable $$ for export, we have minerals the world wants.

We have no super profits or climate taxes. Time to change this.

so it begs the question, why would Dutton fast track something that does not benefit Australia & is destroying the planet? Why? There has to be beneficiaries, for every winner there is a looser, but not always proportional. Dutton doesn't give a stuff for anyone or thing unless they benefit him.

Saying the price of gas to exporters should be whatever it costs them to dig it up, is like saying the price of a can of baked beans should be whatever it costs me to shoplift it from Coles.

Make them pay PRRT.

WA budget papers show revenue from oil and gas royalties to be just $0.65bn in 24-25, less than HALF of what WA motorists pay in rego fees.

Is that worth causing irreversible climate change?

Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) manages $1.8tn (£1.4tn) & invests Govt money from the oil industry.
It bought 25% stake in the £2.7bn Covent Garden property portfolio.

I hope Dutton will lose his seat!
The man has no understanding of the urgency to cull the use of fossil fuels.

Gina must be his muse,, will she be his nemesis?

Short term ideolohy is set to fail.

We live in a Petrostate.
Dutton wants to DOGE Australia for parts (Gina ordered it).
ALP have approved 28 new oil and gas projects.
Time to vote for Greens and Independents.
Because our lives depend on it!
