Governments own the resources, they give companies the rights to extract them and then sell them for a profit. If there was no government ownership they could not require a reserve like WA does.

I can't make it any clearer!
If they did, then once extracted either government - assuming your concept of ownership - could sell it. That does not happen.
You have confused the ability to attract royalties from what is extracted, with actual ownership.
That's why it's called "regulation."Governments own the resources, they give companies the rights to extract them and then sell them for a profit. If there was no government ownership they could not require a reserve like WA does.
Don't make yourself look more bizarre, of course they own it, Royal Dutch Shell pay the Government for the right to extract it and on sell it.Neither WA nor the feds own what has been extracted from the ground once permitted.

The government permits extraction.Don't make yourself look more bizarre, of course they own it, Royal Dutch Shell pay the Government for the right to extract it and on sell it.
If the Government didn't own it, Shell wouldn't have to pay Royalties to take it.
That's not how it works. The government permits commerce to occur. There is no guarantee oil or gas will be found. And as I said, nothing stops a government being in the oil and gas business if it wants to.The Government isn't in the oil and gas business, so they sell the rights to the company to extract and on sell the gas, while the Government takes a percentage cut on the volume. It's a simple business transaction, what you have going on in your head is completely beyond me.
Do you accept that the government OWNS resources that are in the ground ?Did you not realise your post claimed the government owned what was extracted, or do you not understand what you write?
Mr. Albanese has enough on his plate without having to get involved with bringing Julian Assange back to his home, Magnetic Island, a little piece of paradise which one can see from the roof of the hotel.Julian Assange is in a UK prison awaiting resolution of a extradition order from the US to face trumped up espionage charges.
Powerful story on the ABC on the fight his wife and family have undertaken to save his life. IMV this is the time for the Albanese Government to bring Julian back home.

My Australian husband Julian Assange is fighting for his life from within the confines of a three-by-two-metre cell in Britain’s harshest prison, Belmarsh.
The US has accused him of espionage as a result of his work with WikiLeaks in 2010-2011 and wants to extradite him to face court.
If his extradition goes ahead, Julian faces a maximum 175-year prison sentence. As his wife, I fear he will be buried in the deepest, darkest corner of the US prison system until he dies.
During another extradition hearing last year a UK magistrate blocked Julian's transfer to the US over fears of "oppressive" conditions that could drive him to take his life.
On July 3, Julian turns 51. It will be the fourth year he has spent his birthday alone in a cell, without conviction.
'Our nest in the razor wire': How Julian Assange, his wife Stella and their children seek moments of joy within prison walls
I don’t need to explain to Gabriel and Max the reality of Belmarsh prison where we go to visit their father. They live it, writes Stella Moris.www.abc.net.au
Yes, as I have only posted about what is extracted from a land area, and all land use is regulated.Do you accept that the government OWNS resources that are in the ground ?
The company obtained their permit with conditions so, as in the WA case, they will have understood the caveats to title.... if as you say the company owned the gas they could tell the Government to get stuffed it is our gas.
Yes , put an export tax on coal, iron ore, gas, lithium, bauxite and use the proceeds to upgrade our energy infrastructure.Yes, as I have only posted about what is extracted from a land area, and all land use is regulated.
@sptrawler seems to have a problem with who owns whatever is extracted, as the permit (or whatever name is chosen) confers title of the mineral to the permit holder. The permit can have any number of conditions, as @sptrawler notes in the WA agreement.
I have long held the view that Australia is giving away its mineral wealth for bugger all return, and we need smarter legislative provisions so that we don't get screwed over and end up having to pay a lot more tax. Recent Queensland deals on royalties have been negotiated commercial in confidence, and this is is not tenable in a democracy.

I am still struggling with your capitalsation of Rollie.Mr. Albanese has enough on his plate without having to get involved with bringing Julian Assange back to his home, Magnetic Island, a little piece of paradise which one can see from the roof of the hotel.
Speaking of which I was recently on the roof of the hotel helping to fix the Foxtel transponder thingo with an older tradie, and I decided to start a geopolitical conversation with him, and as we could see Maggie Island from the roof and I thought young Julian would be a good place to start.
I began by an exposition of the dialectic that Julian through his work has saved many lives, but it unfortunately has led to the loss of some. I further compared his incarceration at Belmarsh with his antics at the Ecuadorean Embassy. The embassy of that enlightened country is close to one of my old watering holes, The Zetland Arms, which has a larger public bar area than the embassy.
So he has suffered and has relieved suffering and caused suffering, I said.
I posited that Albo could call a referendum confined to the good burghers and matrons of Magnetic Island to decide.
Given the sensitive nature of young Julian's relationship with some of our largest military and economic partners, I would surmise that Albo may decide against this as many of the inhabitants of the island are barking mad, New Agers on Zimmer frames, and others, and may vote to repatriate him, I said.
The tradie nodded.
I digress. So the tradie sat down on the roof, took some chop chop from his hiviz and thumbed a Rollie. He then said.
" And who the f**k is Jeremy Sanjeev when he is at home? "

Hes right about the former government, but the buck now stops with him.I really don't like Bowen.
Credit for arranging the meeting on the energy situation, but why does he have to play the blame game taking digs at the previous government? Just get on with trying to fix things.
Such a politician.
I wonder if an CAC will investigate the departure of some Ministers to cushy Board jobs in companies they were supposed to be overseeing in their portfolios ?I must admit that I am very impressed thus far with Albo and his government's handling of the Foreign Affairs portfolio.
He and Penny Wong work well together and his dealings with world leaders will hopefully lead to a safer Australia.
There will be tough times ahead domestically, with rising interest rates and inflation, house prices and mortgages.
A tough independent and retrospective Federal Anti-Corruption Commission is long overdue.
gg
The good thing is, there is talk it will have retrospective powers to 2007.I wonder if an CAC will investigate the departure of some Ministers to cushy Board jobs in companies they were supposed to be overseeing in their portfolios ?
Could that be called corruption ? Some ICAC members may think so.

Puts new meaning to the concept of "points scoring".It's good to Bill is coming out of the blocks at a gallop, some Centrelink programmes to get a makeover, thankfully with computers all the old stationary doesn't have to be replaced.
I have a hard hat at home, that has three different company logo's on it and it was a Government dept first thing the boss has to do is rename the dept.
At last, the unemployed will have a sympathetic Govt.
