There is no gas shortage in Australia.
Remember: Australia exports 80% of its gas.
Despite the fact that nearly all sides of politics agree, this hasn't stopped Big Gas from pushing the myth of a shortage to justify digging new gas fields.

I am fascinated by how simple it is for bad actors like Trump and Dutton to use mainstream media to trick, lie and manipulate. The ABC really needs to investigate how it came to be that the Indonesia-Russia fake news came to be platformed during an election campaign so uncritically.
Wow. So Patricia Karvelas on ABC #afternoonbriefing gave Peter Dutton a 30 minute platform to accuse the govt of "catastrophic failure" over the Indonesia/Russia rumour.
ABC News now report it's a non-story, "simply not true"
