Our Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, has proclaimed Australia will shortly be the worlds largest exporter of gas. Meanwhile, in NSW we face gas shortages and skyrocketing prices.Worlds largest exporter and gas shortages simply cannot logically occur at the same time. It is an absurd proposition. The latest proposal to solve the forecast gas shortage, is to build a pipeline from Alice Springs to Moomba to link the east coast gas markets with the west coast gas markets. The cost burden of such a project would be prohibitive both to the taxpayer and the gas consumer. It is simply more profitable to supply export markets at high prices than supply domestic consumers. We are told by the gas industry that the shortages will occur in NSW and that the state needs to urgently approve questionable coal seam gas projects. Industry lobbyists neglect that our constitution guarantees free trade between states, so why dont we enjoy our nations wealth without state borders?...
