Foxy, Foxy Foxy, we have plenty of gas, close to where we need it, which could be harvested & supplied quite cheaply, If the rat bag greens had not pushed the Victoria & NSW governments into banning the harvesting of it.

Blame the right people, that's the greens & your own government. It has nothing to do with the people extracting it offshore, or our further out basins.

Incredible how people fall for these greenie straw men.

Dear Hasbeen,

Do we call it wilful ignorance or self inflicted idiocy.

Don't you read anything that might inform you past Andrew Bolt's column.

Here is another fact for you to ignore, Santos has been caught short on supplying its locked in export contracts so it has been buying up gas supplies earmarked for the local market, creating scarcity and raising prices

You want our farmers to be forced to put up with industialised gas production taking over productive land so your mates in the multinationals can get their hands on even more gas to export and buy themselves even bigger yachts this year?

How about for once you look out for ordinary Australians.

Shame.

I don,t want boiling rivers with methane gas escaping. There is a place for everything and suburbia is not one of them.

As you would expect, a red herring from Steely, to avoid admitting the problem is by green design. Then an obvious idiot statement from the school boy green.

The pillaging of our resources proves the lie of border security. The two major parties did not simply raise the boomgate on our commercial borders, they blew the kiosks to pieces. The multinationals moved in and helped themselves to our resources. They told us where they would mine, who they would employ and how much tax they would pay. We have been dragged down to nothing more than a resource colony. Every single independent report shows Australia got a fraction of the profits from their resources that a first world nation should expect. And that had absolutely nothing to do with the Left. All the comments from the Right prove that old adage; the more wrong the Right are, the more they move further Right.

If you think the Labor party are of the Left, you've got rocks in your head. You only have to look at their support for Adani to see extreme Right wing capitalism at work. Rex Connor must be turning in his grave. The foresight of his gas pipeline exposes the incompetence and corruption of today's politicians. He wanted to borrow cheap money to build a national gas pipeline. Today's lot want to throw money at tax haven entities with a track record of dodgy practices.

What gas shortage? The only "swindle" is in the fevered brains of the left whingers.

The gas companies can produce more than 2x Australia's demand, so they built an export facility, and signed contracts based on their production and the expected domestic consumption of gas. Probably what they hadn't factored in was Labor vandalism of the coal generation sector, and the sudden awakening to the need to replace it with gas generation after inflicting crippling blackouts on the populace.

However, the gas companies have pledged to meet the domestic requirements, and so far have not failed to do so.
