Gas Press Conference | David Pocock, Monique Ryan, Richard Denniss

- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- Australia Institute research has found that 56% of gas exported from Australia attracts zero royalty payments, effectively giving a public resource to multinational gas corporations for free.
Around 80% of Australia’s gas is exported as liquefied natural gas (LNG). Most of this gas is extracted from gas fields in Commonwealth waters, but the Australian Government has failed to levy royalties on gas feeding six of the seven offshore gas LNG export terminals operating in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Overall, this means over half the gas exported from Australia is royalty free.
Press conference at Parliament House featuring:
Senator David Pocock - Independent for the ACT
Dr Monique Ryan MP - Independent Member for Kooyong
Dr Richard Denniss - Executive Director, the Australia Institute
Mark Ogge - Principal Advisor, the Australia Institute
[Recorded 11:30am, Thursday 30th May]

It's a massive scam that Australians are not benefiting from their own resources. Great work to AI, Pocock and everyone else fighting to end this steal
Exactly.
Thanks, it's been horrible 😢 and we could actually help Australian children instead of stealing from them
The politicians get a kickback - that's how third world nations work
Thank YOU to the Australia Institute, with out whom these criminal acts would not come to light.
Multinationals should NOT have their hands on what is in our ground. We need to copy the Norwegian govt on this.
This needs to be an election issue.
It is for me now! I voted Labor in the past because it suited me best as a blue collar worker.
Not anymore. I will be voting independent.
Every time Labour has gone to a federal election with a policy of increasing tax on miners and gas/oil they’ve lost the election to the LNP on the back of Murdoch media and miners scaremongering! And then you wonder why Labour stops taking such policies to the polls.
@@timsmith854Smart.
yeah vote the other party in they'll fix it for sure brah lol honest they will.
Gas give away is called Money Laundering.
Some politicians ARE CORRUPT, from both sides of politics.
@@ateoforever7434 Some? LOL
@@UziMusic 98%.....

Congratulations to the Australia Institute for providing this excellent report. Big shout out to all those who were involved, and Yes, taxpayers deserve the royalties from the gas exporters, and the albenese government should be held accountable for making the changes for Australia's benefit.
Just the Albanese government?
@NoMusiciansInMusicAnymore liberals, nationals and all the politicians.
Who was the minister of resource management at the time of the gas deal?? He now sits on the board of the company he approved. There lies your answer
Ten years ago meaning the Morrison government. The resource minister that approved this deal now sits on the board of the companies he approved when in government. Sold out
@@NoMusiciansInMusicAnymoreNo. The Commonwealth of Australia government. It isn't accurate to say that the corruption is to blame either because the system of government functions as per design. Look beyond the surface and see the blame game for the distraction that it is. Acknowledge there is a problem. Assess the problem, it's causes and potential remedies. Assess other causational problems while working toward resolving initial problem.
The what aboutism, lesser evil/greater good arguments make people a part of the problem and hinder every attempt at resolving problems. It's childish, irresponsible and entirely detrimental. When we can't be part of the solution we should damn well get out of the way of people who are at least making a constructive effort.
Share this with every Aussie you know. The gas scam has to end, and for our country to get a fair deal. People are struggling and we need radical political action now to solve the crises before us. Wake up Labour and Liberal!
Labor and liberal? Nothing will ever change. For the worst , yes. Vote One Nation.
They are awake.....all those in parliament likely get $$$$$ in their pocket from multinational, just to look away and ignore the steal.....
The politicians get kickbacks - why do you think things got worse
No hope election independents.
This is the answer to all of Australia's financial problems.
Absolutely Disgusting !! Great work Monique and David
Great work again Australia Institute. David Pocock and Monique Ryan have greatly impressed me too. It's a pity the media is more interested in tabloid journalism by skipping away from the important message of the press conference to the diversionary theatre of Dutton's attack on Laura Tingle
I think that calling out Laura Tingle's divisive slur on the Australian people was bound to happen. We can also afford to call her out on her B/S carry on AND take action on theft of our natural resources.
Laura Tingle speaking the truth and being condemned ?? Australia is a racist country especially for first nations people the referendum result proved that beyond reasonable doubt.
Racism as cover for gas heist, at least they can use racism for creatively. Australia Institute was mad to let them be taken off topic so easily.
No way can punters fathom two thing at a the same time.
Also lost the opportunity to speak about the magnitude.
OPEC countries. Over 75% royalties for their Oil.
Pocock is a sellout not to be trusted...
Dutton takes his talking points and agenda and orders directly from the Murdock Media
This is outrageous , giving Gas away! I have to pay more for my gas, then they do in Japan... The Federal Government has let all Australians down. Thanks Australian Institute.
To be clear it is Federal Governments.... who have let us down.
Bloody brilliant!!!! ... they could pay for our education system if they paid royalties!
Most of the coward corrupt parasite politicians who are benefiting out of this scam, HAD FREE EDUCATION!!
Free university education, to raise Jobseeker above the poverty level, free dental and medical AND fund a massive roll out of community batteries and solar with high voltage lines across Australia.
Useful degrees only.
None of this woke crap.
@@elephantintheroom5678 We could build some very modern nuclear power reactors and save the planet!
@@jasonclark950 No. They would end up polluting the Earth even worse, and cost 2-6 times as much as solar with batteries and high voltage lines updated across Australia. Also they would have extreme construction timeline blow-outs, like the latest in Norway. And they would never be approved. So NO.
Thank you David Pocock and the Aus Institute
No doubt sufficient money is flowing into various pockets, trusts and offshore accounts which prevents the royalties being imposed.
That’s what the money is for!
Don 🤪.! @@rolandnelson6722
And a guaranteed 6 figure salary job on retirement from Politics.
This needs to be reported widely.
If we, Australia, does not received a fair return for our natural resources, then leave these natural resources in the ground. Period.
one of the most overdue conversations we had to have. Thank you to all involved.
Well done David Pocock, Monique Ryan, Richard Denniss
This is the most important issue in Australia today and most media is burying it. David Pocock and Dr. Monique Ryan are spearheading so many crucial issues and need more support.
Right there you have the kind of leadership that should be running this country.
Unafraid to put truth and facts at the forefront.
Unafraid to have journalism free and with teeth, because they do not fear dialogue that bares those things that are only going to make us better people and a better country.
We need the Albanese Labor Party to act in the communities interest by ensuring gas exports are subject to appropriate royalties and taxation to benefit all Australians.
Never going to happen. They are owned by the Gas industry.
these treasonous people will do nothing to benefit us because they don't care about any of us
Don't be silly their all C0MPRlMlZED
The Labour Party knows what's going on, they just IGNORE it.....
@@ateoforever7434they don't ignore it. Them and the liberals are consciously rigging the system in their lobbyists favor. Exempting corporations of their taxes and responsibilities has a name. Neoliberal policies. Socialism for the rich, savage capitalism for the poor. This must end.
Finally, the truth comes out. Yes tax them and give free education!!!!!!!!
No one mentioned the golden elevator of retiring policy makers joining gas companies or their ilk weeks after departure for enormous salaries.
Having done their Corporate Duty in Public Office, these individuals are rapidly awarded their new title and opportunity to ingratiate themselves with the new incumbent, ensuring perpetuation of this egregious corruption.
Thanks BRAVE HEROES
This press conference is a classic example of the distorted australian media landscape. Politicians trying to talk sensibly about policy and media more interested in culture wars...
Do you know what the difference in cost of extraction is? Look at the rate of return on Australian public gas companies. It is trivial. Meanwhile unlimited immigration is diluting the per capita value of all existing resources in the country. It is as if you don't look into this issue one iota. Perhaps iron ore could have a modest increased extraction tax but certainly not gas. Monique Ryan used to be my local member, she strongly supports trans surgeries for kids .... you really think she has a sensible position on anything that isn't 100% virtue signalling, no matter what the cost to this country? This is 100% culture war, zero percent sensible policy.
being woke really is a mental illness as we are witnessing in our media currently they care more about gossip like topics than real issues and treason by our politicians
The examples of Norway, Qatar etc provided show this is sensible policy direction by senators Pocock & Ryan. Giving away our resources is ridiculous.
Lots of words but just like the media in this press conference your other questions and comments aren't relevant to the topic.
Thank you guys so much for shining a light on this 🙌
I finally feel we are discussing the right thing. Quatar and UAE tax gas more than us. Please keep focussing on this sort of stuff rather than culture wars (don't let the Murdoch media lead the conversation!)
Ohh, brought up in the later but then followed by the distraction away from taxes. Peacocks answer about migration was fine! Libs are the ones who pushed migrants up!
Qatar receives $26 billion and Australia receives $2 billion for the same amount of gas. Good luck trying to convince the Australian electorate that this needs to change. They'll never buy it and are easily conned by Murdoch propaganda machine and other right wing shock jocks.
That started well and ended tragically. I wish David Pocock pushed backnon the conversation derailer from the press and insisted on sticking to the topic.
Media doesn’t ask a single question about gas royalties. Only about “Laura Tingle” and “Peter Dutton” which have nothing to do with this discussion.
The problem with the media is that they can’t let go of their narrative and get their heads out of the sand to ask meaningful questions to help inform Australians.
Thankyou Australia Institute, Independents and Greens. The rest put Australians last in their decisions.
quick! no one actually ask questions based on the topic of the press conference lol. no one cares about multibillion dollar companies screwing us. holding laura tingle to account about her opinion is what's really holding this country back :'D
Australian MSM sucks
Great way to grab a soundbite that ignores the actual issue ... Wonka would be proud of all the wonkas in the wonka media
the media are pathetic they really are just gossip mongers & propaganda pushers legacy media need to remember what their job is for they should be screaming about the treatment of Julian Assange & they should be screaming about the scams being played out around us especially over the last 4 years rather than just being actors reading lines & writing nonsense & pushing ideologies at us . A woke media serves no one
Didn’t think I would agree on anything these two politicians have to say. But on this one they are 100% correct. This has angered me for years.
Sick of foreign companies continually rapeing our country.
Thank you for fighting for Australian citizens! Our government simply doesn't
Well..... should have thought of these when those silent majority kept voting in Abbott/Morrison etc etc. End of the day you get what you choose. We are happy to accept sponsorships at various levels by Gas companies, but then complain they are not being taxed. Don't blame the companies who are only using the system that was set up for them. Blame the politicians who do zilch but keep listening to the lobbying from the Industry. Elect those who listen to the public and their concerns.
Spot on, you get what you vote for.
Why do the Australian people make almost nothing on their natural resources? Why are corporate entities not taxed in even a remotely fair way on the money they extract from Australian land? Why do politicians encourage this? Why do they implement legislation that benefits these companies, and then when they "retire" work for these resource extracting companies for huge salaries?
Why ? it's called....PERSONAL GREED.
Because we allow political donations from private lobby groups. They have the access you can’t afford
This is Australia right now...Fossil Fuel giveaways, earth burning - nah....lets get the shit party and shit party lite's talking points on immigration...🤦♂
And our water.
9 hours and just over 6000 views - c’mon Australia this YT video needs to be shared across all social media networks….Now!
Great job David and Monique, keep it up and I’m with you on this.
Something not mentioned here was these multinational gas corporations provide very little employment for Australians.
My family are taking the pledge today to become Australian citizens, now we can vote, one thing Labor got right for many kiwis, but my vote will not be going to labor, these are the political views and morals Id liked to see changed, well done guys.
Hey Albo there's an election just down the Rd, show us you have not been bought off buy the big end of town and get our money back. Also why aren't the reporters asking the questions given a mike so we can hear the questions properly.
Keep at it. We are listening.
Thank you for speaking the truth & standing up for the betterment for everyday Australians.
Thank you Australia Institute
Why does this video only have 32k views and 600 and something comments? This should be something the whole country should be behind
Australia has to call these multinationals bluff, pay up or else !
Great work Australia Institute and Independents..
Highly valuable analysis by the Australia Institute and two intelligent value-minded and service to Australia minded politicians. This standing stark contrast to the two major parties’ corrupt relationships with the industry that has resulted in “highway robbery” of Australia’s energy resources and bottom line - less tax/revenue to pay for hospitals, education, aged care, defence, disability care , debt reduction etc etc.
Words are inadequate, but thank you, thank you, thank you! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.❤
(I'm passing this onto everyone I know!... this and the "Punters Politics" videos on this subject!!! We all need to be educated. Both are dead set legends in my books!!!) Thank you Australia Institute!!!!! ❤❤
Absolutely Right !!! Stop this Roth! They need to pay!!!
Thanks to your all. This is great.
Thank you for calling this out.
Media used to report facts and events.
Public has had enough of media opinions and paid agendas.
The media is hugely responsible for flooding the Australian people with propaganda on ALL subjects
Thanks, you have brought this to everyone's attention and into the spotlight along with punters politics we are realising how we are being taken for a ride.
Great working raising the issue
Nice job of the gas industry getting a Murdoch reporter to try to change the subject just 6m25sec into it...🙄
It is great that politicians are now talking about this. It goes to show that the rise of the independent MP's is good for the country.
Thank you for letting us know the truth!!!!!
About time. I’ve been saying this for years and get called a communist for wanting Australia to profit from its own resources. Once it’s gone there is no more profit. All we need now is more ministers to grow a backbone and do what Norway does. If the companies say we’ll pack up and go, then leave someone else will want the gravy.
Love the work from Australian Institute 🎉❤
Lets hope this gets up
David Pocock is a good bloke.
David Pocock; a calm, intelligent and genuine voice for Australia!
It's a crime how this sort of thing is completely ignored by mainstream media. Why do we see Dutton every night talking absolute shit but never see this stuff.
Mainstream media is under complete corporate control in Australia. We aren’t allowed to know what’s happening in our country or even the policies of our own governments.
It holds us all back to make more money for the ruling class.
What's mainstream media? Haven't seen that for 5 years
This is an F&%$*ING OUTRAGEOUS ! $13BN dollars a year for 10 Years whilst 13.5 million Australian Taxpayers carry the country. POLITICAL HEADS NEED TO ROLL !
Which Politician signed off on this. Make it public.
Good job guys!
The "Gas Giveaway" was organised by a Labor Minister who, when he "retired", went to work in a senior role for a Gas Producer. Australia exports almost the same quantity of gas as the worlds largest producer. THEY get tens of $ BILLIONS more than we in Australia get. for the same quantity.
So when is the royal commission and who will be criminally charged?
Like this vid. 👍Make it go viral.
Pocock should have turned that question around - "I'm Australian, do you think I'm racist?" That would have shut the reporter up
Yes they should pay! It’s time to make the change Australia.
Bravo for speaking up on gas issue !!
Truth. Thank you
Never imagined I’d say this! What a lovely bunch of politicians :)
Lets deep dive on this subject and link these companies to there tax paying commitment as well. Great work to highlight this. We are heading into a world of automation and far less employment.( Government revenue) These companies need to tow the line pay up, contribute, or pack up and get out. Hand the keys over to Government so we can run the show.
Most Australians are not racist, especially the younger generations. The label is often used to hinder discussions about immigration or radical Islamists who do not adopt our values.
once they play the racist card they close down any debate or discussion of an issue it is just name calling nothing more nothing less
Why isn’t anyone asking the question WHY is the government doing this
Why are they giving our resources away
What is the reason
The Australian Government is an amazing creature....The Multi Nationals Lapdog
Please Australian institute raise more awareness about it this and get our politicians to act on this. We will vote next election.
Member Ryan and Senator Pocock Should have Given Their Gas Tax Figure.
1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%. ???.
This would have Moved the Gas Tax Issue Along.
I bet you will see nothing to do with this on any tv media but
This issue ALONE can and likely will win the next election. Well done Australia Institute, outstanding work
What did the lnp criminal organization did to repair this corrupt system beside stuffing their own pockets? It was coward corrupt lying war criminal ( multimillionaire) howard who signed these dirty deals first!
It would be interesting to investigate Australia having a royalty system similar to Alaska.
The money going to the people NOT the government
While we Australians sit and suffer with absolutely ludicrous and rising gas prices, we are giving it to multi-nationals for free? We hear all the time about the high cost of energy and the government give out a bit of cash to help us cover the cost during the cooler months. Imagine how much we could actually save if it was fair. I think it's time for both major political parties to explain why. I don't want to hear that it's part of our net zero policy either. Thanks to everyone involved in highlighting this coverup and theft from Australians.
About time this is coming to light and being talked about
A good policy would be to put in an export reservation of say 10% and use the cheap/free gas to supercharge our manufacturing sector and shut some coal power generation and replace with gas. Certain Coal seam gas projects would likely pull stumps given the marginal economics at the tail of the project and we would take a hit on sovereign risk for future petroleum investments but having a reserve of untapped gas maybe an asset.
The media deliberately took that discussion away from gas. The speakers shouldn’t have allowed it.
Aren't these fools trying to shut gas down ??
Which fools?
Vic labour, greens, teals.
@@davidhales8799 why expand gas if we don't see any revenue from it?
We need gas. The system is wrong. @@itookallthenames
What the hell? Is this a joke? There are people living on the streets.
I've had 5 posts disappear, DP voted for the Digital ID Bill, coercing Australians into a cashless society
@@John-ul4hv Like mushrooms they like to keep us in the dark and feed us BS. Understand what's going on!
Even Alaska Norway Middle East all benefit greatly.
Thank God ! Politicians with intelligence. How many of our resources have been virtually given away over the "minerals boom" and how rich our country would be if they were taxed fairly ? The numbers of politicians who retire early from politics and re-surface as highly paid consultants or board members of foreign owned resource companies shows how much they care for the Australian people.
Can you tell us why we don’t get paid for our gas?
because the gas industry writes the legislation and pays for it via Labor and the LNP
As the above comment states. Plus the lobby's associated with these industries basically own the government at state and federal level.
We also have so many amongst us who cannot see through the sky news horseshit when it's sold to us. Look for example at how the mining lobby was able to overturn a prime minister when threatened with a carbon tax. They sold it to the Australian public and the public ate it up.
Outrageous
I definitely will not vote for the two major parties in the next election. Has there been any research on why the major parties are turning away from it? It's not too hard to work it out! Wake up, Australia! The major parties do not stand for you.
Free education and dental for under 40's immediately. No more GST, NO more taxes on superannuation and Cap EVERYONES personal income tax to 5% regardless of what bracket they put you in.
As much as I hate these corupt fools, they are correct on this issue
" We Need A Better Government "
" That's His Style "
Albo is a WEF agent yes a World Economic Forum agent.
he definitely isn't on our side
Well done to the AI. It's a shame the reporters are focused on other headlines for the day and show they don't care about the topic at hand: the gas industry.
Using the example of an African boy who was able to come to Australia for a better life as an example of how racist this country is shows how thick Mr. Pocock is. If he went to school with him he’s probably a doctor or lawyer by now. But he got sledged on the cricket field when he was 14 so Australia is racist 🤦♂️
Just because someone is racist....does not mean that everyone is the same.
