Woodside’s LNG: The 43-Cent Question

Every hour, millions of dollars’ worth of liquefied natural gas leave Western Australia’s coast — shipped from Woodside’s North West Shelf project near Karratha to power homes and industries across Asia.

The ACTU wants a flat 25 percent export levy, claiming it could raise $17 billion a year — enough to fund 50 000 affordable homes nationwide. Gas producers warn such a move would threaten investment and jobs, arguing Australia already benefits through existing taxes, royalties, and local spending.

The debate cuts to the heart of Australia’s resource story: enormous energy wealth leaving our shores, and the question of how much of that value stays here.
