My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. In an interview with SBS News last night, the Prime Minister said that the proposal for a gas export tax was a slogan and that no-one seems to know what it means. The ACTU clearly knew what it meant when they proposed a 25 per cent flat tax on all gas exports to replace the broken PRRT. The ACTU has also been clear that a flat 25 per cent gas export tax would've raised $17.1 billion in 2023-24, and it would raise far more in the coming year of wartime profits. Does the Prime Minister really think that the peak union body doesn't know what it's asking for when it comes to a gas export tax and is simply spouting a slogan?
