These are Australia’s resources. It’s time we get a fair return.

Australia and Norway both have highly profitable resource industries.
Norway taxes oil and gas at 78% and has used that revenue to build the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund.
The comparison highlights the massive opportunity Australia has missed.

Good question ..
A former Shell executive says it’s time to tax gas exports.
We agree!
Gas export companies are reaping billions from Australian resources while paying little or no tax.

"These politicians demonstrated that it is they who are incompatible with the system of representative and responsible government entrenched by the constitution. They should admit it, apologise, and do better, or join their stupid law in the bin."
As we'll be arguing in Crikey today, the real upshot of the NSW Court of Appeal's judgment yesterday invalidating those ridiculous anti-protest laws, it is Premier Chris Minns who is incompatible with democracy. He clearly doesn't understand his responsibility as a leader of elected government.
🚨NSW anti-protest laws ruled unconstitutional, massive blow for Chris Minns Government and vested interests.
Huge week for democracy, with High Court yesterday unanimously ruling Victorian ALP Govt's rigging of donations laws likewise unconstitutional.

You hear such a lot from #Maga #Republicans about how liberals think Trump voters are stupid. But not nearly enough about the far more salient point: that #DonaldTrump thinks Trump voters are stupid. 🎯

This should go down well with an estimated 19% to 22% of the adult population in the US identifying as #Catholic. The United States has the fourth-largest Catholic population in the world... and #Trump's wading into the #Pope..
Just 21 hours of negotiations with #Iran, take it or leave it maximalist approach, and fly home tells you all you need to know about #America's efforts to solve this complex issue. Dark times for American diplomacy. #Islamabadtalks
