The Prime Minister has threatened the private sector the government will forcibly intervene in the gas market and build a new power station in the NSW Hunter Valley unless it can come up with a plan and funding over the next seven months.

Scott Morrison will today call for the exploration of more gas reserves including the creation of a new gas hub in Queensland.

"As we turn to our economic recovery from COVID-19, affordable gas will play a central role in re-establishing a strong economy we need for jobs growth, funding gas services and opportunities for all of us," Mr Morrison will say in a speech.

Morrison a filthy commo now? Reds under the lodges' cubby house.

How quickly Libs flick the switch to choice. Choice the corner stone of LNP, superannuation, age care, education yet denied here. I'm confused

Why would the private sector want to fund a project nobody wants? Looking forward to seeing that smirking prick throw his toys out of the cot.

ChairmanScotty is feeling nimble in his effervescent flex of his authoritarian fervour, his dictatorial glean!

How is that free market working out

The Morrison Government is full of shit,they will go down in history as the first Liberal Government to put us in the worst recession since the Great Depression, Robert Menzies would be turning in his grave,shame on all you Liberals in the Government today,you are a disgrace !

How is that a threat? Industry is like, go for it champ. You’re saving us a crapload doing our work for us.

Bully boy!!

Overheard in Cronulla: 'DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE AND COMMAND ECONOMY YOU!'

Morrison is all bluster and wind, no actual plan and this will never come off.

Sounds like the old Soviet Russia to me.

Morrison picking losers. Again.

Promises to lobbyists must be kept, after all.

The free market is actively trying to stop climate change by realising coal and gas are no longer viable investments, but our corperate socialists government is saying fine, we'll force you to do it. We can't win!!! auspol

When the “free market” isn’t working the way LiberalAus wants it to, it will intervene so it will work the way it wants it to for their donors. Hopeless, setting us back decades economically. ScottyFromMarketing

Great news ....can’t wait for the fracking to begin

The Prime Minister has threatened the private sector the government will forcibly intervene in the Typewriter market unless.........

So we can expect to see “Dictator Scott” and “Comrade Morrison” circulating through the media in the next few days?DictatorScott ComradeMorrison

Picking winners

Hahaha

The Liberals have become an intervening government the thing they ROAST while AustralianLabor is in power , they are now more Labor than ever LNP Nswpol auspol NSW QLD

Well when you privatise everything....shallow words from the dud,lying,divisive,lazy PM and his laughable government

Market forces my arse. This is socialism!

Huzzah! Liberal party returning to socialism!

We could do with a few more Powerstations in Queensland we need those prices to drop.

So communism it is then comrades

Scotty Stalin

Isn't that what they do in socialist countries? A bit like the US where its becoming confused about what is/is not socialism with force buying of foreign companies.

The 'invisible hand of the market' at work! The so called 'liberal' party looking pretty illiberal these days

Prime Moron makes Another Grandiose Dictatorial Announcement 🤣 ElSupreMo ScottNoIdea 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now watch the climate change freaks have a meltdown.

So much for the 'free market'.

👏👏👏👏👏

How quickly Libs flick the switch to socialism when their precious market fails taxpayers again!

Yeah, sure they will ! Morrison does a lot of talking but no one takes much notice these days. If the government were to commission a power station, it would be years away. If new legislation was required. It would not pass the senate, and never happen.

I would've made it 7 days, this has gone on for way too long
