Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says the main issue with the federal government using gas as a platform for kickstarting onshore manufacturing is “what companies are charging manufacturers”. Mr Morrison on Thursday announced a $1.5 billion manufacturing plan to assist pandemic recovery, which will see investments in six key areas. During a pre-budget speech to the National Press Club, Mr Morrison touted the government’s gas-fired recovery plan.
“Gas prices have already come down to around $4 per gigajoule but long-term contracts gas companies are entering into with manufacturers remain at $7 to $8 a gigajoule". Mr Clennell revealed comments made from Australian businesses to the ACCC this year following the coronavirus pandemic.

Government's digital business plan will make the economy 'more productive' | Sky News AustraliaEnergy Minister Angus Taylor says the federal government’s proposed digital business reforms are concerned with empowering customers and businesses through the use of digital technologies and will make the economy 'more productive'. \n\nThe federal government is seeking to incentivise businesses to adopt and transition to digital technologies through its $800 million Digital Business Plan in a move designed to allow more businesses to operate through the pandemic and boost Australia's GDP up to $6.5 billion over four years. \n\nGlobal consultancy firm McKinsey estimated the adoption of technology in Australia had advanced up to five years in eight weeks as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. \n\n“It’s really crucial that we see the efficiency and gains that we can get from digital,” Mr Taylor told Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nMr Taylor said “(the Digital Business plan) will make it much easier for you to control your own data and move between supply, so if you want to switch electricity suppliers, you can do it very quickly and easily, you can compare plans quickly and easily.\n\n“These reforms are all about empowering customers, empowering businesses, by using digital technologies.\n\n“Switching electricity providers is one example, switching banks would be another one.\n\n“These are the sorts of initiatives which we think will make the economy more productive, better for consumers, and of course in my space, being able to switch between energy providers is hugely important.”\n AngusTaylorMP AngusTaylorMP can’t even operate a calculator. AngusTaylorMP How, are we all going to sit in front of a computer? What about food, who is producing food? Who is producing power for our homes, maybe he thinks the new world order agenda will provide all of that. AngusTaylorMP
