My conspiracy theory: The loud voices calling for a 25 percent tax are paid by the gas companies to make it sound like 25 percent is enough.
Shell pays ~7% tax on revenue.
I have no idea how to even begin to fix the whole “oh we owe 70% of our revenue to our international parent company for licensing and stuff” tax loophole. But that loophole costs our nation so much money that it boggles my brain. I assume it can’t simply be closed. But wow would that be neat!
And this is a company that actually paid most of a Billion dollars in tax.
Propaganda works.
Whereas I, and most other Australians, can tell the price gouging bastards to fuck off for free.
