Deputy Labor leader Richard Marles says gas is a “fundamentally important” industry for Australia and his party supports it, despite some internal tensions on energy policy. This comes as the CMFEU and AWU urged the Labor caucus to unify its stance on gas and coal.
The key takeaway from the meeting between the unions and Labor was that Australia would inevitably move to clean energy, but coal and gas will still be needed for some time yet. “Australia is the largest gas exporter in the world, of course we support the gas industry,” Mr Marles told Sky News. “We understand how important the role of it is in electricity generation. “Gas matters.”
