Reforming PRRT: Ending the Industry Gaming of Australia's Petroleum Resource Rent Tax

The legislated 40% was never repealed — it was made unreachable. A measurement fix, not a rate change.

A policy brief showing why the 2023–24 PRRT reforms cannot deliver the 40% Parliament legislated. The distortion is in the profit calculus, not the rate — and a common-sense repair measures the resource honestly through an independent valuation body without tearing up a single contract.

ASON · Latest SOCii Systems launch

Australia already distributed its energy infrastructure. What if we did the same with computing?

Australia demonstrated that infrastructure does not have to live exclusively inside large central facilities. Millions of individually modest household systems can collectively become nationally significant infrastructure.

ASON applies that same organising principle to computing.

Participating Australian households contribute real compute, storage and network capacity to an encrypted Australian overlay network. SOCii coordinates that capacity into useful infrastructure — while the household retains first priority over its own hardware.

Buy together. Compute together. Keep the value here.

Aggregated procurement is intended to allow SOCii to negotiate increasingly commercial-scale hardware pricing for participating households. Aggregated capacity allows the community to share infrastructure rather than every service repeatedly purchasing the same central cloud capacity.

A NEW SOCIAL ORDER. COMING SOON.

Less feed. More feeling.

The internet was supposed to bring us together. We’re picking up where that promise left off.

A little anti-X. A lot more human.

ANTIX is pronounced “antics”.

ANTIX succeeds the tvvtr skunk-works file. It is a Social Services platform using the shared SOCii Account and SOCii Messages layer. The public teaser lives here; the product experience is at antix.social.

Shared ecosystem

SOCii Social Services.

SOCii Account at persona.socii.au is the shared identity, and SOCii Messages is the shared inbox — used by Antify, ANTIX, Comorbid, and every future Social Services platform, so the family expands without a new identity for each product.

A social platform in development: less feed, more feeling — planned around verified-human participation, public pseudonyms and a chronological default. A Social Services platform on the shared Account and Messages layer — not infrastructure, and not a standalone login for its own sake.

Public-benefit R&D institute

About SOCii.

SOCii PTY LTD is an independent civics and humanity research and development institute. We publish open research for academics, lawyers, policymakers and the public — and we build SOCii Social Services — one account and one inbox for Antify, ANTIX, Comorbid, and future platforms.

We were founded on a conviction that the evidence and tools used to understand public life should not be controlled exclusively by the institutions they are designed to measure — and that platform economics should be governed by the people who supply the data and labour.

SOCii is not affiliated with any political party, government agency, media organisation or commercial interest group. Our commitment is to public benefit across Australia and the United States — without exception, without favour.

Independence

SOCii operates independently of political parties, government agencies, and commercial lobby groups. Our research and platforms serve public benefit — not institutional capture.

Open research

Every methodology, model, and dataset we publish is open for scrutiny. Public-benefit R&D must be publicly accountable from data collection through to platform economics.

Evidence-driven

Our research programme is built on rigorous quantitative methods and open data. Results must be reliable, defensible, and reproducible by independent peers.

Trans-Pacific reach

We prioritise Australia and the United States — building research and platforms that meet the standards of academics, lawyers and policymakers in both jurisdictions.

Research principles

Governance & trust.

An independent public-benefit R&D institute only earns standing when its methods survive scrutiny. Here is how SOCii asks to be held to account.

Independence

SOCii operates independently of political parties, commercial lobby groups and platform incumbents. Our research and apps serve public benefit — not institutional capture.

Open research

Every model, method and dataset we publish is documented for independent verification. Replication is a baseline requirement, not a marketing claim.

Privacy-first platforms

SOCii Social Services minimise data collection, use encryption by default, and give users jurisdictional choice over storage across the shared Account and Messages layer.

Trans-Pacific reach

Our institute prioritises Australia and the United States — building tools and research that meet the scrutiny of academics, lawyers and policymakers in both jurisdictions.

Our commitment

SOCii PTY LTD (ACN 690 364 731) is an independent civics and humanity research and development institute. We do not accept funding that compromises our independence. Our purpose is open research and user-first platforms that return value to the communities that build them.
