25 Percent Tax On Gas Exports

TO TREASURER JIM CHALMERS

Gas corporations are making billions from Australian gas while paying next to nothing in tax. Australians are paying more for energy, while gas giants profit from publicly owned resources.

We ask that you use this budget to implement a 25% tax on gas exports that could raise billions for the things communities actually need in the face of escalating climate damage.

Please make gas companies pay their fair share.


Why is this important?

Our vision is for a future where children inherit a healthy planet, where the wealth generated from these lands builds thriving communities, not billionaire's bank accounts, and we honour our shared responsibility to protect Country and climate. 

Right now, while millions of people are suffering from the US and Israel’s war in West Asia, Australia’s big gas companies are making huge profits from the energy crisis, exploiting this awful situation for their own gain. 

We know that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is considering options for putting a new levy on gas exports. A simple 25% tax would raise billions that could actually serve communities and protect our climate, instead of lining the pockets of fossil fuel giants. This isn't just tax reform—it's justice.

Sign the petition today asking Treasurer Jim Chalmers to make gas companies pay their fair share of tax.
