4 July

It’s difficult to believe just how stupid this situation is. We give away our own gas to foreign fossil fuel companies, who get obscenely rich selling it overseas. (We literally give it away, they pay as good as nothing for it.) At the time they promised there’d be plenty for us too. That was a lie. And when they didn’t have enough, they took even MORE of our domestic gas, to meet their export contracts. We then buy our OWN gas back, from OVERSEAS, at huge prices. Gas we just GAVE AWAY, to these same companies. Not content then with having sucked our gas dry for their own benefit, they’ve been lobbying for years a ‘solution’ - we need to drill even MORE Australian gas, for them. See how this works? Every ‘solution’ involves them screwing us even more, for even more money, for them. Know what the real solution is? Tell them to fuck off. Replace the gas in our homes, with electricity.
