Australian LNG

Find below the full text of the Albanese government’s energy treason cooked up with the East Coast gas cartel precisely as predicted at MB.

The mild weather sure isn’t saving your current energy bills, which will be going literally through the roof thanks to Albo’s incredibly mismanaged Ukraine War power shock and bill rebates.

You can lead a politician to gas, but you cannot make him/her use it.

Just before Christmas, the Albanese government released its wet lettuce East Coast gas reservation policy, which has arrived too late and will do little to improve gas supply and affordability.

In the early 2010s, the federal Labor government made the ill-fated decision to allow liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from Queensland without requiring gas companies to first supply Australians.

It is better late than never, but the Albanese government has finally announced a domestic gas reservation scheme for the East Coast of Australia.

Some academic claims we know what will be in Albo’s new gas reservation policy.

The Albanese government is not about to implement a national-interest East Coast gas reservation scheme.

The Greens are right about gas.

I long for a competent opposition.

There are some days when an economist can only shake his head in appalled wonder.

Just how corrupt is Albo?

What price Australian smelters?

How did a fundamental reform so critical to the national interest shift from the lunatic centre to the sensible fringe?

The policy process in Canberra is broken.

Gas Balkanisation is suddenly being debated.

Labor has missed so many opportunities to rid the nation of this economic millstone that I have no faith it is about to do so.

Given that it appears the Albense government is, once again, set to sell you out to the gas cartel with fake domestic reservation, it falls to me to point out one final irony.

This is ridiculous in every way.

The wreckers of Australian energy, and therefore living standards, as well as climate change mitigation, are shrieking like stuck pigs.

OMG.

The East Coast gas cartel is destroying your living standards by injecting ceaseless cost-push inflation into the headwaters of the supply chain for every business in the country east of WA.

In the annals of wasted public investment, few attempts to build an industry can compete with the abject failure of hydrogen.

The IEA has done an analysis of the immense looming global gas glut.
