#Norway taxes its #fossilfuel industry and offers free #university degrees to students, while #Australia subsidises fossil fuel expansion and imposes high costs on university education for its youth. Budget allocations reflect choices and priorities, revealing significant differences between the two nations.
Is the government taking more from students through #HECS than it collects from the #Petroleum #Resources Rent Tax? #prrt #auspol

The Parliament is currently considering changes to the PRRT (Petroleum Resource Rent Tax), but they do not go far enough.

The fact is the #Australian government collects more money from students paying HECS than it does from gas companies paying the PRRT.

Now is the time to increase the #PRRT and make sure #Australia's gas companies are paying their #fair share of #tax
