This is how our politicians all become millionaires. They are literally selling out the people they claim to represent with backhand deals. Every one of the ones making executive decisions on Australia's access to its own resources needs to be thoroughly audited.
Martin Ferguson, the minister for resources, should be in jail for what he did to the people of Australia. Instead, he works for a gas company and also receives a ministerial federal pension. The prime ministers at the time were also complicit in this crime by approving his actions. In politics, nothing is contemptible. Benjamin Disraeli
Labor's minister for resources Martin Ferguson presided over a number of the legislative changes which allowed gas extractors to avoid tax before he retired from politics and became a fossil fuel lobbyist. He helped BG group sell QLD gas to the Chinese. I' ll do a post above, so much corruption including ASIC.
Were you awake when the last 2 political parties RAPED US. This one is doubling down, they are bending over even farther than the last one( that is going to take some doing) but they are trying REALLY hard.

This has been going on for years and neither side, Labor or Liberals, have done anything about it! Could you imagine the country we would be living in if our government collected these royalties and taxes?! We're talking billions of dollars here! We would have better roads and infrastructure, what about a fast train linking all our capital cities, better hospitals, schools and universities, free education, free health care, housing, the government would actually have more money to spend on Australian's and yet these criminals get away with paying nothing every year, while the ATO chases ordinary Aussies over their taxes and the government lets this happen! It's madness!
This situation was created by the LNP under John Howard!!! The following government didn't have the ball to change it !!! Get your facts right !!! It was on the news for months!!! The little nasty man little john!!! He was so proud of it !!!
The easiest way to make sure corporate tax is paid is to introduce an electronic debit tax, mandatorially collected by the banks at a rate of 2%. Yes, I said 2%. That is all that is required because currently, 97% of revenue is paid by wage and salary earners. The debit tax has been well researched and 20 years a go surveys showed 98% of Aussies supported this proposal.
@@tobybrown1179 We need to break with the Anglo American regime that controls practically everything in this country ie: banking and finance,foreign policy,energy production and policy and of course our mineral resources. A public people’s bank is the first step towards self determination , and the big private banks worst nightmare. Why do you think they fought so hard to privatise our commonwealth bank, and got rid of the Whitlam government when they wanted to nationalise our mineral resources.
Oil and gas, mining, resources creates lots of jobs and income for regular families - why not get a job in the industry, you sure will pay lots more taxes but will be able to pay for health care, buy a fancier car and pay more fuel tax… don’t hate the players- hate the game..

Whom in 40,000 years or so produced nothing or even had a written language, look at what the other countries did in the same time, discover the art of making iron, casting metals (gold silver), made and built houses, castles, roads, vessels to sail the oceans etc but the Aboriginal mob built did diddly squat in all those years, my friends we hard working Aussies are being squeezed out of our own country by our elected village idiots in government.
87% of Australia’s Resources are Foreign Owned; by US, UK, Canada, Japan, China in that order.

Companies who extract and export our resources should pay the Australian citizen for that right. Furthermore, proper taxes should be imposed on energy companies. Tax them heavily, if they stop production, then start state owned companies to compete on the world stage.

Australia’s petroleum resource rent tax: Paul Keating, Peter Walsh and other game changers ABSTRACT It is now timely to examine the important area of the 1980s reform of petroleum resource taxation, about which there is scant analysis, compared to other Australian Labor Party reform initiatives from that era. The questions concern the roles of Paul Keating, as Treasurer and Peter Walsh, as Minister for Resources and Energy, in petroleum taxation reform. Bourdieu’s social practice theory is used to analyse the consultative process of resource rent tax policy to legislation, which culminated in the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax Assessment Act 1987. This Act introduced a tax on profits, over a specified threshold, generated from the sale of petroleum commodities. To revisit the story of the 1980s petroleum tax reform, this article draws on primary archival documents, predominantly from Craig Emerson’s private papers that cover his time (in 1984) with the Office of the Minister of Resources and Energy. Unique insights are obtained into the consultative process via his hand-written files and personal observations. The findings indicate that although Paul Keating, Bob Hawke and advisors such as Ross Garnaut played important roles, Peter Walsh should be given the most credit for progressing the petroleum resource tax policy in 1984, that later resulted in legislation in 1987.
They are part of the problem partly owned by gas companies like channel 7 Kerry Stokes has a gas exploration company in WA and all the money that gas companies spend on advertising with these channels
This makes me so bloody angry Australians have to put politicians in place that will stand up for Australians every single politician who is in the Labour Party and the LNP should resign or be removed and jailed for being a traitor to our country and its people
Almost 30 years ago, I was asked to write a report on this. Having worked in the North Sea and having helped in that area of the Oil and Gas industry, I had the temerity to compare Scotland's industry with that of Norway. not too long ago Norway's Oil fund totalled approx $14 Trillion and yet Norway's production is less than Scotland's production. As far as Australia is concerned, the "international" resource companies are making an absolute killing and the general Australian population are paying taxes to support this system.

It's sickening that corporations and the rich are given a pass in the tax system while low income average Australians are treated like criminals, hounded by debt collectors over tax debts that are minuscule in comparison to the tax not collected from the wealthy and large corporations. Liberal\Coalition and Labor. Two sides of a worthless coin.
No actually Labor have been trying to wind back
@@rachelhead4986 Sorry, not sure what you mean. Trying to wind back what?

All resources extracted from the land in Australia form what is called the National Estate, which should be the main source of income for the governments around Australia instead of the peoples energy. The quicker people wake up and stand up to our corrupt system of party politics the better we will all be financially and morally. If the Constitution of this land was understood by the majority then the party political system would not have enough oxygen to survive, WAKE UP AUSSIE
Meanwhile I have pay tax on every cent of interest I have on my savings account.

Australia’s petroleum resource rent tax: Paul Keating, Peter Walsh and other game changers
ABSTRACT It is now timely to examine the important area of the 1980s reform of petroleum resource taxation, about which there is scant analysis, compared to other Australian Labor Party reform initiatives from that era. The questions concern the roles of Paul Keating, as Treasurer and Peter Walsh, as Minister for Resources and Energy, in petroleum taxation reform. Bourdieu’s social practice theory is used to analyse the consultative process of resource rent tax policy to legislation, which culminated in the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax Assessment Act 1987. This Act introduced a tax on profits, over a specified threshold, generated from the sale of petroleum commodities. To revisit the story of the 1980s petroleum tax reform, this article draws on primary archival documents, predominantly from Craig Emerson’s private papers that cover his time (in 1984) with the Office of the Minister of Resources and Energy. Unique insights are obtained into the consultative process via his hand-written files and personal observations. The findings indicate that although Paul Keating, Bob Hawke and advisors such as Ross Garnaut played important roles, Peter Walsh should be given the most credit for progressing the petroleum resource tax policy in 1984, that later resulted in legislation in 1987.
How is not mainlining on every news outlet?
They are part of the problem partly owned by gas companies like channel 7 Kerry Stokes has a gas exploration company in WA and all the money that gas companies spend on advertising with these channels
EXACTLY !!! They all in on the payolla as well.
@@Fidelista23 every one but the Australian 🇦🇺 people what a joke
This makes me so bloody angry Australians have to put politicians in place that will stand up for Australians every single politician who is in the Labour Party and the LNP should resign or be removed and jailed for being a traitor to our country and its people
Almost 30 years ago, I was asked to write a report on this. Having worked in the North Sea and having helped in that area of the Oil and Gas industry, I had the temerity to compare Scotland's industry with that of Norway. not too long ago Norway's Oil fund totalled approx $14 Trillion and yet Norway's production is less than Scotland's production. As far as Australia is concerned, the "international" resource companies are making an absolute killing and the general Australian population are paying taxes to support this system.

Absolutely disgraceful.Why have these prices been allowed to destroy Australia.GO BACK to the politicians involved in this extortion - corruption and lay charges.Some corruptofficials have benefited at the expense of AUSTRALIAN workers.
I looked out the window at lunch time and can confirm Australia is still here - you will be pleased to know that we have not been destroyed

Hey, you REALLY should be looking closer to home. The rapists are in OUR midst. You really do NOT have to look outside our shores to see the BAD GUYS.
Have been since the second world war.
Government rather give it away than managing economy to benefit Australia population.
EASIER, not to mention, more lucrative for their retirement?
So which politicians are profiting from payoffs from these gas companies? Which govt agency should be investigating this corruptions? What is ATO doing about this. They are so strict in collecting from common taxpayers but not from these companies. Thanks for bringing this to public attention.
What a disgrace tied up by pollies on very long contracts!
Who signed these contracts, they should be held accountable? I didn't spend 34 tears in Defence, both uniformed (24) and civilian (10), to be done over by this kind of political incompetence. Wake up and fix this debacle pollies!

Not Green either
@@missinterpreted4923 Well I suspect the future is gonna have a lotta science-themed problems to deal with so Im goin green .. you do you.
When Labor did try to do something about it over 10 years ago were you cheering on the Liberals when they and the mining industry destabilised the Labor government and rolled the prime minister effectively destabilising the country for over 10 years

@@David-dl3vj In 2017, I actually did try to do someting.

100% right !!
How can the Australian public stop this?
This has been known for some time. Its pure corruption, yet the authorities are paid to let this happen. And Australians are helpless to change this .
You are NOT helpless. Every single vote counts, where we are all helpless is the naive public continues to vote for these corrupt financially benefitting treasonable politicians from our UNI PARTY SYSTEM. stop being helpless and help yourself in order to help every Australian.
How do we, as the joe blow citizens, do something about this?? This makes my blood boil
Australia can do African countries did to the French Uranium mining company.
Cancel the permit and evict.
Of course we could but we are the most brainwashed country on the planet beside Finland and Germany. A true vassal state of the USA.
Will Australia finally wake up and see that it is not China they should be worried about.
Only country in the world that let's this happen

Good news is when Australian workers finished building 3 LNG plants in Queensland the Australian Tax office screwed them over with audit's and fines. Good on ya ATO and greedy politicians, let the milti nationals off with billions.
politician's are a big disgrace for the country! .We should apply new rules:
First we should start to limit the power of any party in control of the state, for example :
decision on big expenditure like
energy contracts, military expenditure as war or participation to any war that is not against us, big donations,and then revision every year of the leaders if they maintain the promise done and if not change without wasting or allow to make any other damage to the Country and make them accountable for any of those! This will change immediately the scenario of all political behaviour ...
Please spread this idea..

Will Labor fix this rip off?
Nuh, they wont. 🤣🤣🤣
Not without people pressure.
the ALP can't because of the contracts signed by the LNP, some in the 99 year length. Howard started it and Scomo extended them
Both of the 2 major parties have got us to this point but the blame falls at the feet of the voters that kept them in power to do this to us.
They busy inserting their names into the list of 'winners' ...
@@JBSbass they could fix it. They are the law makers after all!
@@beesplaining1882 do you know how contracts work? What it costs to break them? Tax payers would be up for every cent these miners invested in labour, equipment, future earnings, the list goes on. Scomo made sure that Labour coming in would never have the political will to change it due to gigantic cost involved to do it. Which is why they give us households lump sums to offset the bill shock.
Wake up Australia……🤬🤬🤬👍
Why aren’t we stopping this?
Why do we pay so much for it
Glad you were able to impart all this information in a short vlog as others are more likely to watch it.
Charge on.
your LNP set all this up. The Australia Institute is a conservative " think tank " and probably advised the Scomo Gov on 99 year leases to these mining companies.
Not true
The Australia Institute states that it takes a bipartisan approach to research, but has also been described as a "progressive" or "left-leaning" think-tank.
