Is anyone surprised that tinkering around the edges of the PRRT didn't work? That we're getting billions less tax from big gas than we thought a year ago?

Remember, 80% of Australia’s gas is exported and no gas export project has ever paid PRRT. Who can say that this is a good deal? #auspol

Last week at the Australian gas industry conference, all I heard was about how hard it is to do business in Australia and that the govt needs to get out of the way and definitely not tax them...

headling from ABC: Reworked Petroleum Resource and Rent Tax raising $4 billion less than first thought

Chart showing that from 2021-2024 gas was THE most profitable sector in Australia with a 47.8% profit margin compared to the average across all industries of 14.5%.

The gas industry are a mob of tax avoiding climate killing greedinfested pricks

The gas industry has had higher profit margins than ANY other sector in Australia over the last few years.

That's unsurprising when you know how little tax they pay. A THREAD (1/5)

They offer free swim classes for babies in SA but we're having trouble getting in because they're too popular.

We had the swim nappy and the swim suit double, sealed to International Space Station levels but I was still panicking that it was going to be my kid who caused them to drain the pool....

Ok I am sorry to harp on this but if you have received an email from Genea about this hack, you have been affected and you absolutely need to replace your cards. Or at least call or contact ID Care to find out next steps.

The language imho is really unclear.

Claire Connelly @claireconnelly.bsky.social · Feb 27

Boosting this, now it appears the hackers have published at least some of the stolen data online.

Replace your Medicare card. Replace your Private Health. Probably replace your licence too.

Claire Connelly @claireconnelly.bsky.social · Feb 25

A note on the Genea breach: Though financial records have (allegedly) not been accessed on their end, criminals can still use data matching to access your financial information.

You absolutely have to replace your Medicare card and number and any private health

90% of WA’s gas is exported and the federal government gives them three quarters of the gas royalty-free. To add insult to injury, no gas export project has EVER paid PRRT.

Big gas is taking the piss.

We held a Politics in the Pub event with @johnbutlermusic.bsky.social to see what can be done.

Are you struggling to pay your bills? Because the gas industry isn't.

Gas companies exported $149 billion worth of Australian gas, and paid ZERO royalties. How is that fair? #auspol
