Saying the quiet part out loud...🙃

When the opposition wouldn't cooperate with the government attempting to ram through their favour for Santos - the Sea Dumping Bill - this happened:

"You said no to Santos."
"You said no to Woodside. "
"You said no Inpex."
#auspol
Our research shows that this Bill appears primarily aimed at facilitating the Santos Barossa Project, its related Bayu-Undan CCS project and other fossil fuel projects off Australia’s northern shores.

CCS is a technology that has failed for decades.

"The bill allows companies to export their carbon dioxide outside of Australian waters and dump it in international seas. There is a single company for which this is relevant."
@pollyjhemming in @SatPaper

"This bill is a trojan horse to facilitate new fossil fuel projects in general and one gas project in particular - Santos' massive new Barossa project off Darwin."

Here's 17 reasons why the Stage 3 tax cuts should be scrapped 🧵

1/ FACT: the Stage 3 tax cuts are massively expensive and massively unfair

They will cost $313 billion over a decade, of which $157.5 billion will go to those earning more than $180,000 per year. #auspol
2/ Every dollar of the Stage 3 tax cuts to the wealthy ($313 billion), is a dollar not spent on government services that are crying out for funds like Aged Care and Medicare, or increasing the rate of Jobseeker above the poverty line. #auspol Image
3/ They will give bankers, surgeons, and MPs an extra $9075 a year, while hospo workers get nothing.

Australia is in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, and the Stage 3 tax cuts will deliver 0 for those struggling to make ends meet on the minimum wage or low incomes. #auspol Image
