SA Winter Letterboxing Blitz - Tax Gas Exports

Letterboxing is a great way to increase our visibility and inform people about our campaign to Tax Gas Exports now!

Do you have some time over the next couple of weeks to deliver a bundle of leaflets? It's the perfect way to supercharge our people-powered campaign while also getting your steps in! This can be done in your own time, whenever is most convenient.

Register below and someone from the campaign team will contact you to assign you an area and organise leaflet pickup. 

We have bundles ready to go out in Dunstan, Unley and Heysen.

Big gas corporations are ripping us off

Right now, the government collects more money from things like the beer excise and student HECS debt repayments than it does from all gas exports combined.

It’s time for that to change.

A minimum 25% export tax on gas revenue would raise $17 billion a year. This could go a long way to funding urgent cost of living relief, a fair transition to a clean energy economy, and world class public services for all Australians.

But the Prime Minister keeps choosing their big gas donors over you. In 2024 Santos paid $0 in tax, but they gave almost $150,000 in donations to the major parties. Every Australian Resources Minister since 2001 has gone on to work for a fossil fuel company. Gas companies don’t give out donations and cushy jobs for nothing, in return they expect an easy ride.

We need to be louder and more powerful than the gas lobby. We have already forced the gas lobby to spend $11 million trying to silence us. If we keep the pressure on Labor, we can win a tax on gas exports by the end of the year.
