Australia is being fleeced by the gas industry. We export huge amounts of gas, yet households and businesses are still copping high energy prices and constant pressure from the cost-of-living crisis. It’s hard to see how a system like this is working for ordinary people when the profits are flowing out and the pain stays here.

I’ve been thinking. Maybe, we’ve all got it wrong and #AlboPM is not colluding with the #GasIndustry at all and there are good reasons why he is not slapping a substantial #GasExpotTax on those bloddy #Grifters and their #Shareholders. But we just don’t know about it. Sure it would help if #AlboPM manned up and explain himself without using dumb soundbites and quips that, translated, mean we’re all dimwits and wouldn’t understand even if he told us. Hell, it would be good enough if he told his cabinet the ‘good reasons’ not to so that his cabinet could tell us the things #AlboPM can’t … for some reason…

But no… of course not… he is such a #Secretive little gnome.
Anyway, read the article and feel better by knowing you’re nor the only one who thinks #AlboPM ‘s got it massively wrong. Sad sack that he is.

What a #fracking-waste dispute says about #Ohio’s #energy double standard

Ohio is letting the #oil and #gasindustry put more #toxicwaste underground despite community concerns — even as the state defers to local opponents of #cleanenergy.
