25% Gas Tax - Call your MP

25% Gas Tax - Call your MP

We want the Labor government to immediately implement a flat 25% tax on gas exports.

With the devastating war in Iran sending gas prices soaring, multinational corporations are set to bank billions in superprofits.

Meanwhile Australian families face a severe cost-of-living crisis and climate disasters.

The Albanese-Labor government can immediately implement a flat 25% tax on gas exports and direct the funds raised to deliver cost-of-living relief, energy security for Australian households and businesses, and invest in renewable infrastructure.

80% of Australian gas production is currently exported from Australia. Indeed, more gas is used by the gas industry to process gas into liquified natural gas (LNG) for export, than all of the gas used by Australian manufacturers.

Research from the Australia Institute shows a 25% tax on gas exports could raise $17 billion every year.

This is not a left-right political fight, the idea has support from voters across the political spectrum.

SUGGESTED CALL SCRIPT:

Hi, my name is [your name], and I’m a local constituent from [your suburb].

I’m calling to let [insert MP/Senator’s name] know that I support a flat 25% tax on all Australian Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) exports. 

 While families face a severe cost-of-living crisis, multinational gas companies are reaping billions in "super profits" from global price spikes.

The Labor government can immediately tax the gas industry’s war profits and direct the funds raised to deliver cost-of-living relief and energy security for Australian households and businesses, and invest in renewable infrastructure. 

By showing political leadership on this decision, the Albanese government can protect our communities from price gouging gas corporations.

I urge you to support the immediate implementation of a flat 25% tax on gas exports.

Please pass on my message and thank you for your time.
