There’s more weird gas debate today at The Australian from Robin Batterham who was president of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (2007-12), Australian chief scientist (1999-2005) and Rio Tinto Group chief scientist (1999-2009)
Last week Labor sparked a debate about gas supplies when it unveiled plans to introduce a national interest test for large liquefied natural gas products.
The plan is tantamount to protectionism, and similar policies have failed in the likes of Western Australia.
