Australia exports about the same amount of gas as Qatar, but Qatar collects about five times more revenue. When the price of oil and gas goes up, people in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Norway feel rich, while in Australia we complain about higher petrol prices and watch in horror as the RBA lifts interest rates. After Russia invaded Ukraine, the UK introduced a windfall profits tax that collects billions of pounds each year. Other countries exist. They are not the same as Australia or indeed each other.
