Polling: Gas exports
New Australia Institute polling shows that a majority of Australians support the idea that gas exports should be taxed, a policy proposed by both the Liberal Party and the Greens during this election campaign, regardless of who they think proposed the idea.
When presented as a Peter Dutton proposal, 61.7% of Australians support the idea that gas exports should be taxed, 11.0% oppose. When presented as an Adam Bandt proposal, 59.0% support the idea and 12.3% oppose.
Furthermore, more than one in two Australians (55.7%) agree that Australia exports too much gas, 12.6% disagree, and an overwhelming majority of Australians (72.3%) support a parliamentary inquiry into whether Australia is getting a fair share of the profits from selling its gas, 7.6% oppose.
