Survey shows strong support for lowering prices by limiting exports and imposing windfall profits tax on gas companies

Australians overwhelmingly back government intervention in the energy sector to bring down prices, with a new poll finding support for limits on exports and a super profits tax on gas companies.

On Tuesday, Albanese said the legal advice underpinning the Greens’ proposal was “completely unclear”, but Bandt said the policy was “clearly constitutionally valid”. According to the Australia Institute poll, four in five Australians support imposing export controls on gas exporters if they do not meet local demand. Only 7% were opposed.
