A think tank has revealed that residents in Western Australia (WA) paid two times more for registering their motor vehicles than the royalties of all gas export projects combined in 2020-21.

A report by the Australia Institute thinktank, titled “Gas-fired Robbery,” has outlined that two-thirds of gas export projects paid virtually no tax or royalties despite earning billions of dollars for international corporations such as Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, and Woodside.
