Oh, so we shouldn't pay the industry to remove the resource like we have been? This was the arrangement Senator Kelly et al have been saying was necessary. If we change any of the current tax structure, the petroleum industry might leave and we might all lose our jobs.

So what are you proposing? That we give the resource away, but not continue to pay them to take it? I'm not sure if you followed House Finance on Gavel to Gavel last session, but they were by no means proposing to tax the industry into oblivion.
