The level of subsidies that fossil fuel producers get from Australian taxpayers
is rather obscene
$14.5 Billion in 23-24
It's obscene as companies like Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell etc. have revenues that are more than many small countries (around $200 Billion) , yet continue to ask for taxpayer handouts.
Fossil fuels, as a high density fuel, still have a place in agriculture, aviation
and manufacturing etc.....but for a highly urbanized country like Oz ,having millions of us burning the stuff for a daily commute is madness.
It also beggars belief that as many city dwellers are being moved into high density towers, body corporates frequently refuse owners permission to install...at their own expense ..a garage charger!
Yet State legislators do not have the gonads to invoke laws that would such
asinine refusals illegal. To quote Lennon (John) "Strange days indeed"
