Worked on the FGP pipeline connecting ENI and Inpex. Good to be part of the transition. NT govt legal action for cost recovery incoming.

Imagine if the NT government hadn’t sold its gas to exporters and made sure it had enough for its people 🤯

Yep that's right, our own gas

This is how stupid Australia has become. Paying foreign multi-nationals inflated prices for gas from our own ground.🤦 Thanks to successive govts committed to selling off the farm from right under Australians with little or no dividend to citizens AlboMP SkyNewsAust Bowenchris

So solar not cutting the mustard hey ABC.. Maybe if we all huff and puff and collectively blow at a wind turbine.

Western elites were in the grip of an ideology that made them incapable of understanding the hard realities of energy production. China’s Xi and Russia’s Putin took advantage of the delusions of the decadent West, and now we are all paying the price.

Not a problem for Albo In theory by the end of Albo's term all of Australia's power needs reliably/cheaper 24/7, will be meet using only renewables , cause the only thing stopping this is the want to do it. auspol 'in theory'

FFS! this is what the lnpmassivefail has brought us too!! gas auspol

Maybe if they changed to hydrogen? Which wouldn't be hard to do.
