Well i tell ya what it doesnt mean, taxing the gas giants. Cheers albo. They pay enough tax already? Cool, well I pay enough on my mortgage so ill just ignore the rate increase

I support taxing these cunts but doing it when fuel prices are crazy is political suicide as these companies will blame prices on Labor's taxes and run a bunch of influencers, ai bots and advertising campaigns to kick them out. Or organise an internal coup again.

A solution might be to legislate tax reform but not have it take effect until the current global crisis is resolved. I would be ok with that.

I would be ok with anything other than giving in to yet another excuse not to do anything
