Politicians from across the spectrum have demanded the government scrap the gas price cap and “go back to the drawing board” after it was revealed retailers have stopped taking on new customers.

which capped gas at $12/gigajoule for a year in a bid to bring soaring household power bills down.

In the wake of the admission from some companies, Liberal frontbencher Dan Tehan told Sky News Australia the measure should be scrapped altogether. “It should be scrapped and they need to look at getting more gas into the market,” he told First Edition."They've got to reverse those policies which were designed at limiting supply and they've got to be doing everything they can, working with the states and territories, to get more gas onto the market.Also speaking to Sky News Australia, Nationals leader David Littleproud said the move by Labor will chip into the nation’s reserves.

Democratic socialism! Ideas so good they have to be mandatory? LOL auspol ClimateScam

Oh dear Jimbo and Albo have no understanding of market economics, oh boy its a train wreck.

Absolute incompetents. 5% of the cheapest gas stays in Australia. There are 3 producers - cut a deal with each of them and if they don’t like it then they can leave. Have some back bone - stop being puppets to sovereign wealth looters - this needs to be bipartisan. For Australia

Translation ‘Gas company executives have demanded LNP politicians demand scrapping’

That worked! We knew it was going to fail. We saw it. Labor fails every single time

Albo admitting he was wrong. I'd like to see that. He done so many things wrong and done nothing that is in Australia's best interests. He should reinstate the cashless debit card too. But know that won't happen either.

No capitalist company will say no to new money. You are not merely dumb you are boring. Come up with some good stories .

Albo-Greens & Teals Achievements 2022-23 CAP on coal & gas to drive down the cost of electricity is now starting to put power cost UP

“Politicians from across the spectrum …” seriously who writes this fking crap?

The more the government interferes, the worse the situation, businesses and individuals always find a way to survive, and apparently albo policy will interrupt gas supply and eventually increase ower price in the long run, this has been long proved in Cuba and Venezuala

American media company on side of foreign gas companies in ripping off Australians over Australian gas.

Have you asked smegel

No one believes this drivel.

More skynews lies , there's plenty of gas is all runs pretty much though same pipeline Curtis is . W.a gas is separate from the cap as it falls under w.a agreement they have. shell n woodside are liars .

The Liberal donors getting a bit toey, are they? auspol

They ones owned by Gina?

Bowenchris the master of disaster 🤡😂

Don't tell me American gas companies ?

Albos plan 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes he should just let the gas corporations rip of Australians at every chance they can..! How dare Albo try and protect us from rising electricity prices…🤦🏼‍♂️

Albo vs Dic Dan who is the most corrupt? Commies in Socialist guise. Both are in love with Putin Policies. Sack 'em before they sell Australia to the Anti Christ.

While ya at it scrap the shots of poison and the gaslighting...I get it that's why gas is expensive coz you lot use it to blow up everyone's ass ....

Bullshit. Trying to appease their donors more like it.

Desperate to protect your owners' financial interests with nonsense.

Thee pressure is mounting on albo and co.

Sky News Australia - taking the side of big, foreign conglomerates over every day Australians. Shame on you

Hahahaha

No they haven't. As usual, you're just making it up

Why do retailers care about a gas price cap. Isn't it to thier benefit.

Another fail for the socialists

Good grief, this labor government is so incompetent.

AlboMP economic pygmy !!

It’s our gas. Not overseas conglomerates

Politicians should find jobs and stop fucking up stuff... really!
