This video examines how foreign influence operations, particularly through News Corp (owned by American media magnate Robert Murdoch) and the Australian Energy Producers lobby representing foreign multinationals like Exxon, Shell, and Chevron, have influenced Australian political decisions to oppose gas export taxation. The video reveals that News Corp Australia paid 0% tax on billions of dollars in revenue for 11 consecutive years (2014-2024), while Australian companies like Hancock Prospecting paid only 13.4% tax. The video argues that politicians like Angus Taylor and Pauline Hanson are being influenced by foreign oil interests to prevent Australia from taxing its natural resources, which are predominantly owned by foreign multinationals, thereby denying Australians the economic benefits of their own resources.

How One Nation and the Coalition sold out Australians | The West ReportAdded:
Defund the ABC. Yes, that hory old chestnut is doing the rounds again.
Probably does the rounds every week. And who is behind it? Well, let's show you now. It's a foreign influence operation.
Now this will be iconoclastic for some but News Corp in Australia is a foreign influence operation. The media magnate who controls it is Rbert Murdoch Lachlan Murdoch his son and let's have a look at their contribution. This Australian this Australian outfit let's have a look at their contribution. You go into michael.com.au AU and we got a thing in there called tax data. You go to tax data and you put in the little name. Just put in just write in news. Just write news in there and you'll get look at this. You'll get report for News Australia Holdings Proprietary Limited.
Company details media and broadcasting global ultimate owner United States.
Yes. years of reporting 11 and we go through the financial data and it's all there for every one of the past 11 years 2014 to 2024. It's lagging a bit and we find we find when we have a little scroll through we find that the amount of tax paid on the billions of dollars every year which Robert Murdoch makes in Australia from Australians is h 0.00%. 0 0% 11 years now if Robert's cookers and Pauline's cookers who are subject to this foreign influence operation from news corpse where news goes to die they all have to pay tax we all have to pay tax we can't concoct structures through tax havens and eliminate our profits in Australia we play pay play pay a y But Robert 0.0% and you'll notice from this table if you have a look at it that even in the years when they made a taxable profit or taxable income 116 million 187 million 200 million 300 million 2024 they didn't pay 30%. What rate did Robert and News Australia Holdings pay at? They paid at the grand rate of 0.00% 000% not 30%.
Billions of dollars no tax paid. Oi oi oi.
Okay. So this campaign has been going on for years by this US American Israeli Zionist operation because that's effectively what they do. They promote causes.
They're promoting the Epstein coalition's war in the Middle East at the moment. any war. Wars are good because they create social disharmony.
Now, you'll notice in that chart the three numbers, you'll notice that what they manage to do most of the time is eliminate all taxable profit because if you declare a profit and you're a multinational, you have to pay tax on it. Except Robert, of course, it doesn't bother even when he does declare a profit. Now, they have been going to give them their dues. They have been going through a tumultuous period for mainstream media where profits have been hard to come by. Nonetheless, when they make a profit, they pay no tax. When they pay no tax, full stop. They never have. They've been one of Australia's in this tax department. Tax office sources will tell you this. One of the most brutal tax avoiders in this country. The others of course being, and we can tell you this because we've gone through their balance sheets year after year, the gas majors. Now, the ABC has its critics on both sides. We're critical of the ABC often. We think that they self censor too much, that they've sacked good people, and you know, it's a it's a bit lame, but the fact is they have their critics on both sides, and defunding it would mean crushing the free toear networks. Now, this is an important one for the cookie cookie cookers to understand. If you privatize the ABC, if you defund it and send it into the private markets, what does it do?
It gets advertising revenue to sustain its cost base. So, it goes after ads.
And what happens when it goes after ads?
It crushes channel 7, channel 9, all the other channels, channel 10. These companies behind the freeto-air networks are already struggling big time. They're making losses anyway. So this idea from Pauline Hansen who came out this week the defund the ABC thing. Pauline literally came out and said the ABC strike today. Not that you bob up on the ABC very often. What do you think of this? The fact that they're fair. Look, if they want to go on strike, of course they've got the right. I think it's madness, but they've they've got the right, but they can't then use our public broadcaster to prosecute their case.
>> I totally agree, Chris. There's an easy answer to all this. Defund it, the 1.2 billion a year, then they can um have to reapply for the jobs and it' be on subscription only. So therefore, keep the ABC radio going, pay for that by all means, but the rest of it, shut them down and subscription only.
>> No idea. She probably doesn't know, but this is the reality of it. You defund the ABC, they go in and take 30% of the ads which 7 9 and 10 had done it had previously managed to keep going. It's not going to happen. It's a myth propagated by a foreign influence operation, News Corp, and all those people who follow it and promote it too because they don't like the politics of it. They don't agree with opinions or they don't like somebody on radio or TV.
The fact is this foreign influence operation is what Pauline and Angus Taylor now are promoting. Because you see Angus came out came out yesterday just post our last video because we summised in our last video about the gas export tax which is a serious issue. You know it's not Harry and Megan you know it's not Kyle and Jackie O where where the mainstream media are very strong this is Australia's future and Angus has came come out yesterday and panned it.
Well, we're driving down to Bumbrey and I've just been on radio in Perth talking about fuel security and how important it is at a time like this when we've got a fuel crisis. If we want to be a fuel secure country, we need more oil and gas coming out from under the ground. What won't help that is what we heard on the program I was on earlier, a 25% proposed tax on gas. Now, that will just stop oil and gas coming out from under the ground at a time when we need it more than ever. If we don't get that right, uh we won't just lose jobs in the oil and gas industry. We'll lose jobs across all industry. That's why our plan is to dig, to drill, and to pay down the debt bill by getting more oil and gas working hard for Australians.
>> Now, why would Angus be panning something which would bring $10 billion a year in? I'll tell you why he would be doing that. because he is owned effectively. They take donations from the gas lobby. And who owns the gas lobby? Foreign multinational companies.
And even the Australian companies. I mean, if you go to the people that are running this campaign besides News Corp, it's a mob called Australian Petroleum Producers. Australian energy producers rather. It used to be Australian petroleum producers. They changed the name to Energy Producers. And if you have a look at the members, you scroll through the members of Australian energy producers who are claiming via the Finn Review, via their psies in the media that if they if you bring in this tax, it's going to cost 70 billion because people will flee. They'll just go elsewhere. Now, Angus has is backing Pauline's position that it's unAustralian and so on, but the reality is that it is unAustralian not to produce this tax because at the moment the beneficiaries, the Exxons, Chevrons, Shell, Woodside, etc. are either totally or majority foreignowned.
Santos and Origin 2 majority foreignowned. Black Rockck and Vanguard and these guys are shareholders.
Australia has a lot of foreign ownership in its equities. Now Angus has come out saying no. And the reason he said no is if you check out his video is because we need to drill baby drill. That's what he's saying. Basically it's the drill baby drill thing. Who will be drilling?
Angus. I'll tell you who will be drilling. foreign multinational companies because they've already drilled and they're already taking 80% of our gas and flogging it for enormous profits offshore. It's a foreign operation. So rather than the oi oi oi thesis, Pauline and Angus in not backing this very good idea of taxing properly our natural resources that we Australians own, they just want Shell, Exxon, and so on to pay no tax and royalties and just take the stuff.
That's essentially the coalition's position. On social media, there's this proliferation of bots at the moment.
They're everywhere. We just saw another two or three sort of um people follow us this morning and they'll be jumping in and being critical of what we're saying.
But the reality is if you follow the money, this is a foreign influence operation. The coalition gets donations from foreign oil interests or interests controlled thereof as does Fawn. Now in the case of Fawn, it's slightly slightly different. Pauline Hansome, One Nation Israel, because Pauline's number one patron of course is Gina Gina Reinhardt and Hancock Prospecting to give Gina credit. It does pay a lot of tax in Australia. That's why she's unhappy. Now number three, Australia's own Hancock Prospecting brought to you by Gina Reinhardt. Booking in an income of just under $8 billion and a taxable of just over 7 billion with a tax pay just shy of 1 billion. giving Gina an effective tax rate of 13.4%.
>> Hancock prospecting. Gina and um uh Pauline are jetting around the place and everything like that. Pauline does not want Gina does not want a gas export tax because Hancock Prospecting and Gina in separate vehicles have gas and coal interests. So they're part of the drill baby drill thing. But it's not just them who benefit. it is the other for foreign multinationals as well. So Pauline, okay, she showed she declared her interest by wearing the Israel scarf in parliament. But the fact is the majority of benefits from not taxing these guys properly go to American multinationals and to Gina too. So Pauline is riing up the cookers to go we don't want this and we want that. It's foreign influence that is who benefits from America and Israel's wars and from the sale of Australian hydrocarbons of gas and oil.
90% of our oil is exported because it it's refined in Singapore and 80% of our gas is exported. These people in the coalition and Pauline Hansen, One Nation Israel, they take they're funded by the foreign gas lobby effectively. So when you see them on social media slagging off immigrants and so on, that's all a distraction. The big one is with us right now. We think Labor's going to squib it. Even though they have a strong parliamentary majority to bring it through, they could really make a difference for future generations of Australians right now. turn us into the Norway of the South Pacific. I don't think they will. They'll squibble it because they're owned by the gas lobby as well. Who is pillaging Australia?
Foreign multinationals. Who benefits?
Foreign for foreign multinationals.
So rejecting the export tax or an export levy, whatever you call it, is unAustralian because the money goes to foreigners. It doesn't go into services in Australia via the budget. So the Aussie flag accounts on social media are also unAustralian. You see the little flag accounts bagging everybody. Aussie John, Aussie Joe, Aussie Jim, Aussie Barry. You know, most of them are just bots. We're not holding our breath about this, but some somebody in the mainstream media should put this the money trail to Angus Taylor. put him on the spot about it while he's swalling around being all Aussie and he's doing favors for for powerful wealthy foreign interests. Now, we've done the accounts of all these things. We've been through them and we can tell you how they we'll do it in a separate video how they sky out of paying tax in Australia. Of course, we know that Angus' fa favored jurisdiction is the Cayman Islands because that's where he had his company that got all that money from the Watergate scandal. Now the Cayman's is zero corporate tax jurisdiction. That's why people apart from the secrecy are doiciled in the Caymans. Now all these oil companies have got um entities all around the Caribbean and Singapore and so on all around the world and they siphon the money out of Australia into these places so that they don't have to pay tax. The export tax would deliver money to Australia to fund services, not to the companies which Angus and Pauline are representing.
This is a foreign influence scam. When Angus says we need to dig and drill, who is we, Angus?
Is it Exxon? Is it Chevron? Is it Woodside majority foreignowned? Is it Shell? Is it Koko Phillips? Is it Inex, the Japanese? They're a big one. Anyway, thanks for your um your support here at the West Report. Check out the last video because we give a little bit more detail on this scam, but we're very disappointed to see Angus and Pauline being unAustralian. We'd like to thank our sponsors, Island Optical and Optical Superstores, and our Patreon supporters.
And uh have a great day, and we'll see you on the next outing.
