Senators Jacqui Lambie and David Pocock have called out multinational gas companies for pillaging Australia’s gas and pushing prices up for local households and businesses.

The Australia Institute has launched a new campaign, highlighting the fact that these companies take Australia’s gas, export 80% of it at huge profit (which goes overseas), pay no royalties then claim there’s a domestic shortage … which sends prices through the roof in Australia.

Australia does not have a gas crisis. We have a greed crisis and an integrity crisis. But we have more than enough gas to supply all our needs over and over.

As our politicians return to the big house for budget week – and the final sitting days before the election – we’ve taken our campaign direct to Parliament.

The time for subtlety has passed … big gas companies have screwed Australians for too long.
