If the our government doesn’t do the same, Australian families will be left with massive insurance costs, while the fossil fuel corporates make $billions.

The Albanese Government’s constant justification for approving new gas projects is we need gas to “firm renewables.”
Well, good news… turn out we don’t!
So @australianlabor.bsky.social you can stop approving new gas projects.

So instead of requiring gas exporters to supply gas to Australian manufacturers at reasonable prices, the cost would be transferred to taxpayers.

Did you know gas exports not only drive your gas bills, but your electricity bills also?
Even though gas is only 5% of electricity in the National Electricity Market (NEM), it sets the electricity price because gas is so expensive.
