And, of course, at the first wiff of a tax on gas exports, wouldn’t you know it, the #GasGrifters are predicting the sky will fall.

“…the gas industry’s peak representative body, Australian Energy Producers, said a 25% levy against its exports would come at the “worst possible time for Australia’s economy and energy security … Imposing higher taxes on Australian gas producers would stop investment in new gas supply, leading to gas shortfalls, higher energy prices, and the closure of Australian industries that rely on reliable and affordable gas,” AEP’s chief executive officer Samantha McCulloch said.”

And, yes, AUstralians are paying export prices for their domestic gas supplies (which translates into increased cost for many thing, including electricity). And NO, we don’t need more investments into new wells, we’ve Got Too Many for just domestic consumtion anyway.
