CICTAR’s Jason Ward gives evidence to Australia’s Senate inquiry on gas export tax

reporting on senate inquiry into gas taxes

CICTAR’s Principal Analyst, Jason Ward has given evidence, to an Australian Senate inquiry into the potential for taxing gas exports. CICTAR had already made a written submission, based on our own research into specific case studies, and this led to an invitation to provide evidence to the committee in person. There has been an aggressive (and predictable) push-back against the tax from the industry, making CICTAR’s expert analysis an important part of a balanced debate. The story has been covered in the Australian press, including articles here and here.
