Are gas companies ripping off Australia?

from The Daily Aus · host The Daily Aus

The conflict in the Middle East has sent global oil and gas prices surging, and it's put a long-running debate about Australia's gas tax back at the centre of politics. Australia is one of the world's biggest exporters of natural gas, but what do we actually get back for it? Today we'll explain the debate, and the Senate inquiry trying to answer that question just weeks before the federal budget.
