Do beer drinkers pay more tax than gas companies?
Yes, they do!
Beer excise > PRRT
Beer drinkers' income tax > gas company income tax

Australia's most generous fossil fuel subsidy will pour another $11 billion of taxpayer money into the pockets of polluters this year, including coal and gas companies.
In the ‘Case of the Century’ the ACCC is arguing in court that Coles’ Down Down price campaign was actually a way to hide that prices were going Up Up as they jacked up prices first
Who reckons it’s time for stronger penalties for misleading marketing?

We are on the cusp of the greatest intergenerational wealth transfer in history. Without action, it risks deepening inequality particularly on housing. Thank you to Marcus, 18, for reminding Parl we must act boldly now so the next generation can survive & prosper. #auspol #politas
AEC disclosures show more than $138 million in political funding in 2024–25 had no declared source under the current rules.
When dark money & big donors shape our politics, public trust suffers. Australians deserve govts that are not fundraising from industries that profit when policy is weakened.
These findings are alarming, but not surprising.
Regional Australia is depending on strong climate action.
The Government’s carbon emission targets must reflect the severity of the findings released yesterday.

Australians are the world’s biggest losers when it comes to gambling. It’s a predatory system - the industry’s business model depends on people losing.
What makes it even more disturbing is the ongoing acceptance of donations, gifts & perks from gambling companies by some MPs & Senators.
The Claim:
Senator David Pocock has produced viral social media content claiming that Australia’s beer tax raises more revenue than the gas industry pays in Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT).
Verdict:
True

A graphic with the text "$77.5 Million Against Climate Action?" on a solid background. Gina Rinehart is in the background holding coal, surrounded by stacks of cash
A list titled "Here's just some of the dirty money affecting our democracy:" showing donations from fossil fuel interests. The largest is Minerology at $52,889,379, followed by Advance Australia at $10,108,548, Coal Australia at $5,389,523, Minerals Council of Australia at $1,000,970, Hancock Prospecting at $1,099,000, and Other Fossil Fuel Companies at $2,119,988. At the bottom is an angry emoji and red exclamation points.
More than $14 million of this was channelled through third-party groups who ran relentless attack ads and disinformation campaigns targeting independent MPs. Australians for Prosperity $2,838,026 Advance Australia $10,108,548 Better Australia $1,255,061 Around the edges are examples of smear campaigns against independent MPs like Monique Ryan and Zoe Daniel.
Text stating that the fossil fuel lobby buys influence, but independents are not for sale, concluding with a call to "Chip in today" and the website climate200.com.au.
New AEC disclosures show the scale of #fossilfuel influence in Australian elections

This week the High Court heard Hopper v State of Victoria, the first of two landmark challenges to electoral laws that prop up the major parties whilst making it far harder for anyone else to compete
These cases go to the heart of #democracy: Who gets heard? Who gets funded? Who gets locked out?
In December, over 50% of eastern Australia’s power came from cheap renewables, cutting prices and replacing dirty fossil fuels.
Clean energy works and improves yearly.

Rural Australia doesn’t deserve this.
No one in Australia does.
But this is exactly what climate science has predicted.

Everyone deserves more choices at election time, not less!
We really do! And with support from people like you, we can do just that!
Thank you so much for your support!
Will Australians continue to enjoy genuine choice at the next election? 🗳️ ⚖️
@simonahac.bsky.social weighs in on new laws that aim to entrench the major party duopoly at a time when Australians are asking for something different.

The major parties have rewritten election rules, making it almost impossible for anyone else to play 🎲🏠
Zoe Daniel and Rex Patrick are taking the duopoly to the High Court. Because when the game is unfair, it’s voters who lose out.
Chip in via the link in bio to help them level the playing field.
Well… Looks like they didn’t choose the science 🤷♀️
Fossil fuels or our future? 🔥🌏
The government is about to set Australia’s 2035 climate target. Scientists, independents, and business leaders all agree: it must be ambitious.

As Labor re-enters government with a clear mandate on climate, the North West Shelf will be their first big test. Can they be trusted to act?
It's so close in Goldstein the AEC will start a partial recount of first-preference ballots this Wednesday.
