You'd hope we could try a bit harder than Qatar worker levels

I expect our next prime minister Hanson will introduce an australian permanent fund based on the Alaskan or Scandinavian model

A smart govenment should do it at the right time to get a dividend of resources.
1) Do it straight after an election and tell nobody before the election
2) Give the dividend to everybody in form of a yearly payment - $1000 per year is better than $20 per week
3) Make sure you have the numbers in the senate
4) Have the political balls and stay the course

$800 million per year on one of the largest gas booms ever seen.

Qatar will generate over 20 billion on similar output.

I just want a 1:48 scale model of this to play the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game on.

Who was the genius who changed the resource tax to allow such small sums to be paid?

No there not enough. It all belong to the iron whoress. Not enough cake for anyone else.

Nigerian government takes more in oil and gas revenue than Australia, analysis shows

"The governments of Nigeria, Indonesia and Malaysia - Australia's competitors in the oil and gas export sector - extract twice as much tax revenue from petroleum companies as a proportion of production than the federal and state governments combined."

ANCHORAGE (CN) — Alaska residents will not get the second half of their annual oil fund check this year, after a Superior Court judge denied a state senator’s legal challenge of Gov. Bill Walker’s use of the veto to cut the dividend.

Alaskans have become accustomed to yearly checks from the state’s Permanent Fund Dividend, derived from the state’s vast oil wealth. The dividend this year was expected to be about $2,100 a head, but in June Walker vetoed $1.3 billion in state spending, which, among other things, capped this year’s Permanent Fund Dividend at $1,000.



Bastard.

Any attempt to do this will be met with howls of outrage from the mining industry, because just ask them, carrying this country on our shoulders we are, which will be followed by a request to the government for more money. You can see why Tone got Twiggy to do that report on welfare, he's right at the top of the pile when it comes to handouts.

Do it just after you won the election. The people will have two years of hand outs and the mining industry will need to fight hard for three years.
