Japan & Korea’s corporate Gas Empire is costing Australians, essentially giving away a large proportion of gas for free. 💸 Energy prices soar 📈 while corporations pay no royalties & almost no tax. ❌ Uncover how Australia is enabling this: www.jubileeaustralia.org/resources/pu... #GasEmpire #AusPol

When the Albanese government has signaled changes in Australia’s energy policies, Japan & South Korea's fossil fuel interests brazenly intervene to keep the tap running. Our new report examines how the Albanese government is enabling this: www.jubileeaustralia.org/resources/pu... #GasEmpire #AusPol

OUR NEW REPORT: Japan & South Korea poured taxpayer-funded USD$20.5 billion into Australian LNG in 2008-2024. Yet companies reap the profits: Japanese companies earned at least USD$14 billion in gas-related profits in 2023-2024 alone. Learn more: www.jubileeaustralia.org/resources/pu... #GasEmpire

Mozambique LNG is a known site of environmental and human rights violations – and the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) approved billions of tax dollars to fund this project without proper environmental review, economic assessments, or public input.

We're taking them to court.

I’m thrilled to have my first report with Jubilee out into the world today; I hope it’s an informative read and a helpful resource for advocating against Australian gas expansion.

How Japan and Korea financed Australian gas and used it to lock Asia into fossil fuels Japan and South Korea have been building a “gas empire” by massively investing in Australian gas to on-sell to other Asian countries, a new report says.

Japan and South Korea have sunk billions of dollars in public finance into Australian gas infrastructure to build a "gas empire" across Southeast Asia, a new report says.

Today, 188 U.S. groups called on EU Commissioners to refuse to bow to the Trump administration's pressure to increase reliance on U.S. #LNG & other fossil fuel imports.

The EU must avoid sinking public money into risky, expensive & environmentally destructive U.S. LNG.

Australia has an opportunity to get out of AUKUS. We should take it.

We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia's interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS.

Forget climate denial, Labor's tactical fatalism will burn us all The climate movement is ill-equipped to deal with a threat that looks like this. Any fantasy we had of a global moral pact of good intentions is dead.

We don't have good words to describe governments and companies that accept 'climate science', but will knowingly burn the world for short term gain.

Australia's government is openly planning to supply the fuel for the world's self destruction. I wrote about it, for @crikey.com.au -->>

🚫 No more excuses.
✅ Real climate action = no new gas, no false solutions, full alignment with science.
