Greens push for windfall tax on coal and gas companies

Greens Leader Adam Bandt speaks about his party’s demands for a windfall tax on coal and gas companies, as well as the Greens’ position on the government’s price caps.

“We want to see more money in people’s pockets, we want to see these coal and gas corporations paying more tax,” he said during a media conference on Tuesday. “And we want to see the government step in to help people replace their expensive-to-run appliances with cheaper, cleaner ones so that power bills stay down for a very long time.”

Bandt goes to the highly bidder. Your taxes will now go towards propping up the gas companies.

Australia heads back to the Stone Age thanks to labour and the greens

I notice he muzzled one of his senators

What a terrible government representative Bant is attacking our Aussie companies who have helped us prosper and in our super. The greens and not just China are our enemies. I feel sick when to my core when people like him speak.

Piss off quick Bandicoot!!!!!

Bandt is the enemy.

No more TAX other than taxing politicos proformas

Good riddance Chris Smith Nothing but a drunk womanising know all who got his just rewards for thinking he could mirror his idol Trump and had a free pass to grope and intimidate women. Wrong !!

The issue is high cost of goods, services and utilities. Whatever taxes or fees introduced is just an excuse if all it does is fill govt coffers but nothing to reduce cost of living. If anything, these taxes will do the opposite making it even harder for everyone. STOP THE SHAM!

The entire Hunter region was founded on coal, end this and you better have a bold transformative plan to reinvent an entire economy/society.

It's funny how these green parties all around the world seem to think that they have some importance one way or another.

Greens can go and get stuffed.

I thought you cookers hated 'big business'?

Okay. I will agree to that if we also prohibit subsidies paid to renewable industries.

Bit of ratio going on here 👀

why. gas has green status in EU

there should be carbon tax on the rich and teals

Greens want to spend more taxpayers money. Greens

The world goes in cycles. People seem to have forgotten what life would be like under communism.

He sure loves taxes and hates capitalism. At least he's consistent.

Greens leader should be deemed a terrorist

At a point where we want to assure our energy supplies particularly as war threatens the reverse should be the case, oil, gas and coal needs investment to increase supply not decrease it - prices will escalate right across society damping down real incomes at all levels.

When these companies desert Australia then what? How do we pay for anything? More tax is not the answer contrary to what the left enjoy spruiking

Their Demands have caused price hikes across the board, worldwide! Socialist/Marxist ideas haven't worked in the past and they will not work now. In theory, it looks good, in practice, it doesn't work out.

Greens support needed to pass price caps as Coalition moves for coal company compensationSky News Political Reporter Joel Philp says support from the Greens is needed to pass energy legislation, as the Coalition wants compensation for coal companies if operating costs are above price caps. “Any companies which have an operating cost which is above that cap, those companies could be compensated in negotiations,” Mr Philp said. “The Greens say they don’t want that to occur, that fossil fuels companies shouldn’t be compensated.” How can the government legally cap prices (lower profits) and not provide compensation? Gotta love when even Labor can’t crack a deal with the Greens. They are so unrealistic and narrow minded.
