The government's gas reservation plan

About this episode

The episode discusses the federal government's new gas reservation policy aimed at stabilizing domestic gas prices.

The federal government has unveiled its east coast gas reservation policy which will require gas companies to set aside 20 per cent of their exports for the domestic market from July next year. The government says the policy will "drive down" prices and ensure Australia is no longer "hostage" to international markets following soaring global gas prices in the wake of the war in Iran.
