Critics say the extra supply wouldn’t stop businesses from folding, because it allows exporters to charge local gas buyers soaring international prices. | By Mike Foley micksfoley auspol

The manufacturing industry and union are teaming up to slam the Albanese government’s new supply deal with gas exporters, claiming it won’t reduce prices or stop business closures and job losses, raising pressure on the Albanese government to intervene in the gas market.

The Australian Workers Union wants the government to reserve gas from the Queensland LNG exporters like the state government does in Western Australia, and slap a windfall tax on the record profits the LNG companies are making. “The federal government and Australia’s gas producers had an opportunity with this agreement to shield Australian customers from the extremes we’re seeing globally, but they have chosen not to,” Eade said.
