Minister, I would dearly love to know when you are going to stop blaming the coalition for what happened in the past when you've been in government for nearly three years. In 2024, Australia exported almost $70 billion worth of natural gas, and about 56 per cent of these exports attracted no royalties for Australian taxpayers, who own these resources. Qatar receives about $26 billion for its exports, while Australia receives less than 10 per cent of that. Minister, when will your government act to ensure that Australians receive a fair return for all natural gas extracted and exported by foreign owned multinationals?
