In these challenging times, we are all feeling the squeeze of rising living costs in Australia. Families across the nation are struggling to make ends meet while essential resources, like the gas from our lands, are being exported at minimal benefit to our collective economy. It's time we reevaluate who truly benefits from our resources and take actionable steps to ensure that all Australians share in the prosperity that our land provides.

By instituting a 25% export tax on all gas exports, the Australian government could generate an estimated $17 billion each year - funds that could be reinvested into crucial public services, infrastructure, and community programs that benefit every Australian. It's a simple yet powerful change that ensures we prioritise our national interests over corporate profits.

Gas is a national asset that belongs to all Australians, not just the corporations that extract it. These companies have long benefited from our resources with minimal contributions to the public coffers. As custodians of these national treasures, it is our duty to demand fair compensation that reflects the true value of this natural wealth.

Other nations have successfully implemented export taxes and seen the positive impacts on their economies and social welfare systems. There is no reason Australia can't follow suit and set an example for the fair and equitable management of natural resources.

I urge you to consider the long-term benefits of implementing this tax, which extends beyond just raising government revenue. It strengthens our economy, supports countless Australians, and asserts our sovereign right to decide how our resources are managed for the good of all.

Join me in advocating for this essential reform. Sign this petition to demand the government imposes a 25% export tax on all gas exports, ensuring that our national resources contribute directly to the prosperity of our community.
