English – The Conversation | Politics with Michelle Grattan: former minister Ed Husic on why Labor must ‘stare down’ gas companies over tax by Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In the lead‑up to next month’s federal budget, Treasurer Jim Chalmers must juggle global uncertainty, a fuel crisis and cost‑of‑living relief while weighing reforms to negative gearing, capital‑gains tax, a gas export tax and the NDIS. Former industry minister Ed Husic argues that Australia is “selling the country short” by earning almost nothing from about $170 billion of LNG exports over four years and insists Labor should “stare down” gas‑company pressure and pursue a fairer royalty or Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. He welcomes the Senate inquiry into gas taxation and warns the Albanese government not to be intimidated by multinational threats to relocate investment. On artificial intelligence, Husic calls for a comprehensive national AI Act and a dedicated regulator to set guardrails now rather than adopt a lax, reactive approach. He also urges stronger action against Islamophobia and antisemitism, recommending the Bondi royal commission broaden its remit and the government implement anti‑vilification laws and respond to the Human Rights Commission’s anti‑racism framework.

US-Präsident Donald Trump nutzt Energieversorgung als geopolitisches Druckmittel. Und die EU? Sagt zu, noch mehr dreckiges Fracking-Gas aus den USA zu importieren – für Milliarden. 💸 Das bedeutet: 🚨 mehr fossile Abhängigkeit 🚨 mehr Klimazerstörung 🚨 mehr Macht für einen Präsidenten, der Europa unter Druck setzt Wir brauchen keine neuen LNG-Terminals. Wir brauchen endlich eine erneuerbare, unabhängige Energiezukunft. 👉 Fordere Bundeskanzler Merz jetzt auf, sich klar gegen die Importe zu stellen – unterschreibe unsere Petition!
