  1. The world price of gas has come down anyway but Labor has discouraged new gas projects by capping the price of gas and will now wonder why we have a shortage of gas on the East coast while Andrews has banned new gas projects in Victoria and wants to bludge off NSW and Queensland.

  6.  @tassied12  Western Australia has domestic gas reservation because the domestic market is tiny compared to the huge amount that is exported so gas companies were still prepared to invest billions in WA gas projects.

  7.  @tassied12  You are still talking about Western Australia where most of the gas is produced and is not able to be transported to the East coast without massive investment by Government. Get up Palaszczuk where the only gas being produced on the East coast is located and who signed contracts with gas companies to enable them to sell gas at the world price which has actually fallen dramatically now. You have a begging for handouts mentality that everyone else has to pay for. Start up your own gas company if it is so easy.

  8. That is their agenda, they only want unionised business's so that they can control them.

  9.  @tassied12  Western Australian gas is useless on the East coast, Victoria won't get gas out of the ground and who is going to invest billions in new gas projects if they can't sell it at the world price. Shell, Glencoe and Gina Rinehart have cancelled East coast projects because of Labor's price caps which weren't needed anyway because the world price of gas has now come down but no one trusts Labor anymore to invest in new projects.

  10.  @tassied12  Woodside is an Australian company, buy shares in them if you think that they are making too much money. The gas companies signed legal contracts with Governments that they would sell gas at the world price, you don't have to like it.
