“Tax gas or face a revolt”: Albanese under pressure after gas export tax reportedly shelved
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will visit Australia next week as reports emerge that Anthony Albanese has abandoned plans for a gas export tax as to avoid upsetting key trading partners. The visit comes two weeks after a Senate inquiry examined how Australia taxes gas exports. The Greens argue that the idea that a tax would threaten Australia’s trading relationships was “fundamentally rejected” by the inquiry.
