Why are people calling One Nation’s gas policy extreme right?


> Government equity in energy projects.
> A domestic reservation so Australians get our own gas before it’s shipped overseas.
> A ban on foreign ownership of farmland and water.
None of that is right wing
It’s resource nationalism, and it used to be Labor policy.
It’s almost exactly what Rex Connor and Gough Whitlam tried to do in 1975, government buying back control of our own resources so the profits stayed here.
Wanting to own what’s under your own soil does not make you a radical.
We’re the richest country on earth in resources and we pay some of the highest gas prices in the world to dig it up and watch it leave.
Everyone knows the fix but if you say it out loud you get called extreme.
