Australia is one of the biggest gas exporters in the world but most Australians know we are not getting a fair return on the export of our gas and want that to change. In this episode, Senator David Pocock breaks down how Australia’s gas tax system works, why offshore gas companies often pay little or no royalties, and how decades of lobbying and political compromise created a system that experts say massively undercharges one of the world’s most profitable industries. From the PRRT and corporate tax loopholes to comparisons with Norway, this conversation unpacks the mechanics, the politics, and the billions of dollars at stake, while answering the biggest questions Australians have been asking online about gas companies, lobbying, windfall profits, and whether reform is actually possible.

Went to ER as it was an emergency. My kids don’t go to the doctor, as they can’t afford it, so I have to pitch in.
We have the money to have it all, but, it all goes to the miners, tax free…
