About this episode

The episode discusses the new gas reservation policy and its implications for the Australian market.

The government has unveiled a new energy strategy, which will force major east coast gas companies to reserve 20 per cent of their export volumes for the Australian market. The policy is set to go into effect in the middle of next year. But is the government being prudent? Or is this more of a ‘too little too late’ kind of move? Carrington Clarke and ABC Chief Business Correspondent Verrender break it all down on ABC Business Daily. Got a burning brent crude question?
