"Never let a good crisis go to waste". Albo and Jim Chalmers have a
unique opportunity right now to fix the Budget and reshape Australia by
taxing the foreign gas exporters properly. A big majority in Parliament

Standing in their way is a powerful gas lobby which lies and bribes hard
.. and the fossil media."

The lesson of this story: Never stand between greedy bastard capitalist robber barons and their unlimited hunger for humongous profits just as
never stand between politicians and their expectations for overly
generous political donations.
