Big gas exporters are making billions, but the Prime Minister is refusing to tax them properly. Let’s remind him that he’s supposed to work for the voters – not the gas lobby. Sign the open letter to urge the Prime Minister to deliver a minimum 25% tax on gas exports.

LABOR KEEPS CHOOSING BIG GAS OVER YOU

Big gas corporations are ripping us off. Corporations like Santos and Chevron make billions each year, but barely pay anything in tax.

56% of all Australian gas is exported without paying a cent in royalties. And the USA’s illegal war in Iran is making these giant gas corporations even richer.

Yet, the Labor government is refusing to implement a proper tax on the greedy gas corporations. 

The Greens are fighting for a minimum 25% export tax on gas revenue.

This tax would: 

• Raise an estimated $17 billion a year to help people with the fuel crisis and fund crucial cost of living relief.
• Prioritise domestic gas supply during the renewable energy transition and ensure energy sovereignty.
• Raise funds for vital services like the NDIS, public schools and the transition to clean energy.

Labor keeps choosing their big donors over the rest of us. In 2023-24, Santos paid $0 in company tax, but they did give $148,950 in political donations to the major parties.

Every Australian Resources Minister since 2001 has gone on to work for a fossil fuel company. Gas companies don’t give out donations and cushy jobs for nothing, in return they expect an easy ride – and they get what they pay for!

We need to break the grip that the gas lobby has on our politics. To do that, we need you.
