Make Gas Giants Pay Tax- Send letter (www.getup.org.au)

Some of you may be interested in sending this letter so that a gas tax is introduced in the May Budget.

Gas corporations are making billions from Australian gas... The tax designed to make them pay their fair share, the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT), is broken – and often they are paying ZERO tax...

There's a simple fix, and your MP can demand that it happens this upcoming budget. Replace the broken PRRT with a 25% tax on gas exports, so that when Australian gas is sold overseas, Australians actually benefit...

The Prime Minister has [already] asked Treasury to look at options for doing exactly that. But to ensure the government follows through, we need every Labor MP in the country to hear from us demanding action.
