Call for gas reservation policy on east coast of Australia as energy prices soar
“We have more gas than you can poke a stick at – the problem is most of it is exported at world market prices and that leads to Australians paying a lot more for gas than they should.
“It is our gas; it doesn’t belong to these multinationals. We grant them a licence to export this finite resource and in return they, and the government, they in turn need to meet their social licence obligations.”

Of course this could only happen here in Australia, export so much of our natural resources that we create shortages locally and charge our own people out the *** for something we have an abundance of, while we sell it to China and Japan for cents in the dollar on fixed price contracts over 5-10 year periods
Might be time we nationalise these resources I think - vote one Franco
Using gas for heating is a crap idea IMO - better off using split systems/refrigeration cycle as its probably more cost effective, you're only powering the compressor moving refrigerant around and the fan, and just moving heat around from the air outside to inside.
We don't have that many areas in the country that regularly see below -5 degrees C where the efficiency drops off a cliff.
The problem is if we use gas for power generation (and we do), you'll see this reflected in your power bills.
