Australian political leaders have bent the knee at the altar of American global leadership for decades, placing the ANZUS treaty at the centre of the nation’s security. AUKUS has become the latest symbol of strategic solidarity. For Australia’s governments, of whatever political persuasion, America continues to define the global rules-based order. Now that the American people have elected Donald Trump as the forty-seventh president, how will his presidency affect Australia's foreign policy, trade, climate action and approach to human rights? More importantly, will Australia be able to act in its own interests, or will it simply defer to Trump’s idea of America?
Around 80% of Australia’s gas is exported overseas. Our research shows the gas corporations have paid ZERO royalties on over half (56%) of all gas exports. In fact, the government collects more revenue from HECS than it does from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax.
Chip in today and fund the research to ensure the gas industry pays its fair share.
