Will gas bills go down under an east coast gas reserve?
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of a new east coast gas reserve on gas prices in Australia.
A new east coast gas reserve of 20% will "drive down" prices, according to the federal government and ensure Australia is no longer "hostage" to international markets. The new scheme, similar to one already operating in Western Australia, will take effect in the middle of next year.
