My question is to Minister Wong, representing the Treasurer. It's promising to hear that the government is modelling a gas export tax. Gas corporations will continue to make windfall wartime profits for months or even years as bombs continue to rain down in the Middle East. Ordinary people are paying the price while gas companies profit off their pain. Polling today shows that 61 per cent of Australians support taxing export gas. With the Greens, you have the numbers to pass a gas export tax of at least 25 per cent this fortnight. Are you ready to stare down the greedy gas corporations and make them finally pay their fair share?
