CANBERRA—In a move economists are calling both ‘revolutionary’ and ‘probably inspired by a Wikipedia summary of Norwegian policies,’ One Nation leader Pauline Hanson this week unveiled a proposal to abolish the offshore gas profits tax and instead secure a 30% government stake in every gas project, immediately triggering a price spike in red-wig stock and Bunnings sausage vendors.

Hanson, speaking from the steps of Parliament while holding a large Norwegian flag she reportedly bought on Etsy, declared, “If Norway can get filthy rich off gas and saunas, why can’t we? I propose Australia gets a 30% slice of every gas pie, and every taxpayer gets a commemorative sizzle. That’s what nation-building looks like.”

Opponents were quick to respond. Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor, wearing a ‘Stop Socialism’ pin, commented, “Next week Pauline will propose a reindeer tax and the construction of a fjord in Dubbo. This policy is ripped straight from the Venezuela-Norway hybrid experiment—the only thing missing is a national moose.”

Industry representatives, meanwhile, expressed confusion and mild existential dread. Woodside Energy spokesperson Roxanne Drillbit said, “We support bold ideas, but sharing 30% of our profits feels like hosting a BBQ where the government takes all the steaks and leaves us the bread rolls.”

Hanson later clarified that under her plan, the government would also receive 40% of any future Norwegians who happen to immigrate to Australia, “just in case their luck rubs off.”

The government is expected to commission a feasibility study as soon as someone explains to Parliament that Norway is not, in fact, the capital of Venezuela.
