Did you know that gas corporations’ profits have gone up by a huge $40 billion? And there has been virtually no increase in the cost of gas production!
Meanwhile the rest of us are struggling to pay for rent, mortgages, food and bills in the lead up to Christmas. Amy MacMahon – Greens MP for South Brisbane’s plan will help make life easier for all of us 👏👇
Rich gas executives don’t deserve a Christmas bonus, but the Greens think everyday Queenslanders do.
So today I’m moving an urgent Bill in parliament that calls on the government to give every Queensland adult a $500 cost-of-living payment before Christmas, paid for by higher royalties on super high gas prices.
Not only will this give crucial cost of living relief to Queenslanders when they need it most, but would discourage blatant price gouging by multinational gas corporations.
