In recent times, we've all faced escalating fuel costs and inflationary pressures that strain our finances and daily lives. As prices rise, many of us have found ourselves behind on bills, struggling to make ends meet. It's a distressing reality that impacts countless households across our nation. Meanwhile, foreign-domiciled companies often use loopholes to avoid paying their fair share, placing an undue burden on the everyday Australian consumer.

To address this issue, we urge the Australian government to declare force majeure on the sale of LNG exports and reform the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) by setting it at 40% of pre-tax profits for one year. This reform should include stringent measures to ensure that foreign companies are unable to exploit loopholes to evade this responsibility and leave local consumers carrying the load.

Declaring force majeure will allow us the breathing space needed to renegotiate terms that more equitably distribute our nation's natural resources' wealth. In addition, implementing the revised PRRT structure will ensure that all companies contribute fairly, benefiting the Australian economy and its people.

The funds generated from these measures could support the removal of the fuel excise tax, potentially offering real relief to consumers who are feeling the pinch. Such a move would provide immediate financial relief by lowering fuel prices and mitigating inflation's impact.

This petition isn't just a call for economic justice; it's about protecting Australian families who are already stretched thin. By ensuring foreign companies pay their fair share, we can enhance our economy's resilience and create a more equitable distribution of resources and costs.

Join us in this push for fairness and economic justice. Sign this petition to demand that the Australian government take decisive action to protect consumers and ensure that our natural resources serve the people first.
