According to Australian Taxation Office transparency data, INPEX’s Australian entities have booked more than $36 billion in revenue over the past 11 financial years. Over that same period, they have paid less than $500 million in corporate income tax. In many years, they paid nothing at all.

Vikki Campion can't muster one argument on why there shouldn't be an inquiry into right wing extremism in NSW ... so she goes with the old chestnut of 'whataboutism'.
