We have restricted export industries in the past.

Climate and nature crises won’t pause while politics plays out.

New Australia Institute research shows coal exports have reached record highs and new coal and gas projects continue to be approved. 

In the middle of an election campaign with a major focus on gas exports, Australia has just approved another massive new gas export project.

New research by The Australia Institute highlights that Australia has a gas export problem, reinforcing the cross-party consensus that has emerged during the election campaign.

Peter Dutton’s insistence that Australia does not have a shortage of gas and that the Coalition is “not here to line the pockets of big gas companies” is a big hit with voters, particularly conservative voters, according to new polling released by The Australia Institute.

Dutton’s nuclear push will cost renewable jobs As Australia’s federal election campaign has finally begun, opposition leader Peter Dutton’s proposal to spend hundreds of billions in public money to build seven nuclear power plants across the country has been carefully scrutinized.

Australia is one of the largest exporters of mineral resources in the world, but Australians have never received their fair share of the profits from selling those resources.

Peter Dutton has it half right on gas. There is no supply shortage, but Australians need to be using less gas – not more.

The Coalition’s plan to impose a levy on gas companies which prioritise exports over Australian businesses and households marks a turning point for energy policy in Australia.

The Coalition’s proposal to introduce a new tax on gas exports, designed to divert gas production away from exports and towards Australian households and industries, could raise billions of dollars, according to Dr Richard Denniss, Executive Director of The Australia Institute.

Australia Institute analysis of the latest Australian Government commodity forecasts shows that, to 2030, multinational gas companies are expected to export $170 billion worth of liquified natural gas, made with gas that attracts zero royalties.
