The federal government will not buckle to “tech giant-like” threats from gas companies after the unveiling of intervention triggered by the industry’s failure to respond to clear signals from the government and the community, Industry Minister Ed Husic has said.
“Our expectation is that they [gas producers] won’t dig in and make the current situation even worse,” Mr Husic said. “I will be completely frank, if the gas companies had picked up the signals that were being issued all over the place, we wouldn’t have gotten this. They thought they could snub their nose at community sentiment,” Mr Husic said.
Meg O’Neill, chief executive of Woodside, on Monday became the latest executive to join the chorus of industry condemnation. Ms O’Neil said the company was looking at options to increase gas output on the east coast through exploration drilling and LNG import terminals, but the proposed intervention “will make it very difficult for industry to economically invest to increase supply”.
Finally actually a bit of balanced coverage. you seem to be giving an awful lot of credence to the claims of gas producers who have done absolutely nothing to contribute to domestic energy security and openly threaten the government.
