Gas Companies In Australia Pay Bugger All Tax

3 November 2025 2 weeks

Many Australians are becoming aware that gas companies in Australia pay bugger all tax. This situation is pretty incredulous. Santos has not paid any corporate tax for 10 years, whilst it has generated revenue in excess of $50 billion. In addition, the PRRT does not raise much revenue from LPG in Australia because of the way it is structured.

Trump’s BBC Billion Dollar Libel: Will The ABC Next?

Trump’s BBC Billion Dollar Libel: Will The ABC Be Next?

I saw a headline from The Australian, a News Corp publication, which is an American multinational corporation, asking the question whether the ABC should be worried in light of Donald Trump’s threat to sue the BBC for a billion dollars. This is, of course, all about intimidation. Trump’s BBC billion dollar libel: Will the ABC be next? Trump sues people and organisations to shut them up, as do many powerful people. Intimidating the media is a favourite of the Trump regime, as it seeks to distort and divert attention away from factuality. The Murdoch family, the owners of News Corp, which operates Fox News and Sky News Australia have been a conduit for and supporter of Donald Trump. You could say that they plough the same right wing furrow.

Aussie News Stuck In Adversarial 2 Party Politics Model

Aussie News Stuck In Adversarial 2 Party Politics Model

The ABC and its legacy media pack leader, News Corp, are unable to adjust to the new political landscape downunder. The Liberal Party has become an irrelevance to modern metropolitan Australians. However, the mainstream media are stuck in a 2 party adversarial model in their coverage of federal politics nationally. Thus, we have disproportionate amounts of attention being paid to a political movement that the bulk of the population have moved past. Aussie news stuck in adversarial 2 party politics model. The LNP Coalition was trounced at the last federal election because Australians were sick of far right toxic masculinity masquerading as democratically elected representation. The Tony Abbott/Sky News Australia led hard Right faction of the Libs were completely out of step with a younger and more dynamic Australia.

Neo-Nazis Demonstrating Outside The NSW Parliament

Neo-Nazis Demonstrating Outside The NSW Parliament

If you wanted proof that the police services are more aligned with right wing white supremacist movements than other protest groups you only had to watch Neo-Nazis demonstrating outside the NSW Parliament. The NSW police service had no problem with this going ahead. You do not see many non-white faces among police anti-riot units when watching news coverage of protests around the genocide in Gaza. Bashing up brown skinned people and those passionate about defending the rights of innocent women and children in Gaza are, obviously, more in line with the priorities of Australian police. Masked men in black saluting in paramilitary fashion whilst protesting against Jews is more the cup of tea of the upper echelons of the NSW police, it seems.

These idiots are not interested in the science of climate change. It’s beyond them. Their sole aim is political: to crush the moderates in their own disintegrating party and to fight the hated “Woke Left.”They’re heading for well-deserved oblivion, like Tony Abbott before them.

Cleaner, cheaper more reliable energy is a golden opportunity for our economy.

By abandoning net zero the Coalition would take Australia backwards down the least responsible path - to higher electricity prices, less investor certainty and a weaker economy.

The federal government spends around $15 billion a year on housing in Australia. Most of this huge spend comes via negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount... https://www.housetherapy.com.au/australian-government-investing-in-inequity/
