Are gas companies ripping off Australia?
4/28/202620 min
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.
Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Billi FitzSimons
Producer: Rosa Bowden

The conflict in the Middle East has sent global oil prices and gas prices surging, as we know, and it's put a long-running debate about Australia's gas tax back at the center of politics. Now, Australia is one of the world's biggest exporters of natural gas, but what do we actually get back for it? Today, we are going to explain the debate and the Senate inquiry trying to answer that question just weeks before the Federal budget. First, here's a quick message from TDA co-founder Zara.

[upbeat music] Hi, it's Zara, TDA's co-founder. When I decided to start TDA, I didn't fully understand that one of the biggest challenges of growing a media company would be algorithms. They're always changing, and we have no control over them. That's why at TDA, we're always trying to build a direct relationship with you so that we don't need to rely on third parties. The best way that you can help us is by hitting follow on the podcast platform you're listening to right now and leaving us a five-star review. Thank you so much for being part of the TDA community.
