Japanese Government collects more tax from Australian gas than Australian Government!

New Australia Institute research shows that the Japanese Government makes more revenue taxing its imports of Australian gas than the Australian Government makes from the export of our gas. Not only has Australia been literally giving more than half of the gas we export away for free, we now learn that the same Japanese Government that is opposed to us putting a tax on our gas and coal exports, has been raking in billions of dollars per year via their own tax on gas and coal imports.
