美国政府要求25%的天然气出口税, ACOSS urges 25% gas export levy for cost-of-living relief.

澳大利亚社会服务委员会敦促所有议员支持25%的天然气出口税, 以应对生活成本压力. The Australian Council of Social Service is urging all parliamentarians to support a 25% levy on gas exports to address cost-of-living pressures. 卡塔尔从类似的出口中获得了560亿美元, 而澳大利亚仅收到了110亿美元. ACOSS argues this permanent tax could generate $17 billion annually to fund housing and services, highlighting that Qatar earned $56 billion from similar exports while Australia collected just $11 billion. 虽然自由党议员安德鲁·哈斯蒂表示对主权财富基金的想法持开放态度, 但一些高级自由派人士警告说税收可能会阻止投资. While Liberal MP Andrew Hastie has expressed openness to the idea and a sovereign wealth fund, some senior Liberals warn the tax could deter investment.
