Our LNG resources is predominantly foreign owned and
we are regarded by these multinationals like any foreign
customer because, in fact we are foreign to them.

And besides, successive Australian Governments have
in a Neo-Liberal sense , followed the market, not led it.

And the irony of it all is that we pay through the nose for our own
natural rsources while the windfall profits go overseas. Its 21st
Century colonialism and we are like toads being taken gradually
to the boil and we're oblivious of the whole multinationals' gig.

We are expected to 'put Australia first, yet those who rule our
economy dont! Perhaps we can import some LNG from Qatar...eh?

Rather than the Government "managing the economy" we all
know that the multinationals do and LNG is merely the tip
of the economic iceberg, IMO.

Short term solution...tax the bastards:

"None of the companies that own and operate Queensland's coal seam gas (CSG) liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects have paid any income tax on income earned on those projects to date. Industry claims including by APPEA that gas projects would be contributing billions of dollars in federal taxes have not eventuated.16 May 2022" (Source: the Australian institute)

Expand

PS: Implement the Pommy solution.......we import about everything else....eh"

And the RWNJs cant classify this as socialist because their
political idol, Boris, has already implemented it...eh?
