Australians pay 4 times more in HECS repayments than the gas industry pays in Petroleum Resource Rent Tax!

Australia Institute analysis shows replacing the PRRT with a flat 25% tax on gas exports, as suggested by the ACTU, would raise over $17 billion a year.

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

Denni, a golden retriever with a sweet face, sits and looks up at the camera with a smile. she has a passenger clinging to her back. a baby koala. the joey's eyes peak over the top of Denni's head.

Denni is standing and looking off to the left of the frame. the baby koala on her back looks at the camera.

a super zoomed photo of the baby koala and their mom high up in a tree. the adult koala holds onto her joey and looks down at the camera with what we would like to think is appreciation for caring for her baby.

The gas industry provides little benefit to Australians, but they try and distract us from that fact with sponsorships.

The most valuable asset you own isn't money.

It's your ability to think clearly in a world designed to confuse you.

Mental clarity is wealth.
