Shell’s Tax Dodge, Albo’s Gas Spin and Ken Henry’s Blast | Scam of the Week

We are on the biggest heist and media/political snowjob in Australia today. Shell’s Australian boss fronted a parliamentary inquiry into gas this week and somehow could not say what revenue her company made or how much Australian gas it exported. Meanwhile, Ken Henry, one of the country’s most respected tax experts, told the same inquiry to “just do it” and “stop the crap” on taxing Australia’s finite natural resources. The gas lobby has spent years convincing politicians, media and the public that foreign multinationals should keep exporting Australian gas while paying little in the way of income tax and royalties. Now they are making super profits thanks to the US/Israel war on Iran.
