The gas tax squeeze
About this episode
The episode discusses the growing momentum for a gas profits tax and the political implications for the government and opposition regarding housing messages.
Whether the government likes it or not, momentum is building around a gas profits tax. What began as a simmering grassroots and political push has accelerated amid the global energy crisis, with pressure mounting on the government to act. A Greens-led inquiry into the issue begins today. But is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese listening? At the same time, both the government and opposition are sharpening their housing messages - but which one will land with voters? Patricia Karvelas and Raf Epstein break it all down on Politics Now.
