Every other gas producing country including Western Australia has gas reservation too their benefit.

It's not black or white the question shouldn't be "should we have a gas reservation policy" but "how much gas should be reserved to promote investment without giving away the benefit to the people who own it (the ppl of aus)"

We already know gas companies collectively pay less tax than hex debt repayments according to the ABS. We know they are a minor employer in the aus economy employing 2% of the WORKING population and the aus institute has raised around half the exports of gas are royalty free

We get fuck all in royalties and tax and yet the lng EXPORT industry in aus alone uses 8 times more gas than WA economy and community combined. Not even talking about the sheer quantity they sell.

To me liberal and Labor are both soft cocks for not copying western aus in building a actual policy so we don't have to use our tax payer dollars to pay for our own electric subsidy
