announced by Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen, by seeking to heavily regulate the prices of all gas sold on the east coast domestic market on an ongoing basis.
“This is the single worst piece of energy policy I have seen anywhere in the world in almost 20 years looking at global energy markets, despite staunch competition from many other dreadful policies around the world,” said Mark Samter, energy analyst at independent firm MST Marquee. , would make gas produced and sold on the east coast market subject to a “reasonable price provision” that kicks in after the price cap on uncontracted gas that will be in effect through 2023. Price caps will also apply to thermal coal sold in the domestic market, at $125 a tonne.
Woodside Energy, owner of half the Gippsland Basin joint venture, has already warned that the price cap proposal has destroyed the confidence that both buyers and sellers need to complete gas sales deals that would keep the economy moving”.“The biggest victims by the end of the decade will be Queensland taxpayers again, and jobs along the gas value chain,” Mr Kavonic said.
Is that what the greenies want?
....clown world....
gas miners n AFR seem to think that price cap would finish off the gas future All gloom n doom They want the public to be ripped off Somehow we have to pay $40/Gj so that gas mining would be prosperous n attract capital
'Santos’ Narrabri project – spent on exploration and production.' should be written off It would be good if they dont go ahead
Terrible government this is becoming just hope Australians start waking up that this government does not work in our national interest
Sounds like the government is doing the right thing because the gas industry doesn’t like it. The people win!
Nationalise the lot
AFR disinformation.
Nonsense
Well that’s what we voted for
This is what happens when you have a Labor government in charge. They believe everything can be solved by government intervention.
The sequence of events is real simple: 1. Gas price cap 2. Gas supply declines 3. Electricity prices climb (* workers suffer *) 4. Renewables increase as they are more economically attractive 5. Rise of new energy Czars 6. People freeze and starve Bookmark this prediction…
Have a sook, etc.

Albanese government takes ‘no backwards step’ when it comes to energyEnergy Minister Chris Bowen says the Albanese government “takes no backwards step” when it comes to acting on rising energy costs after price caps on energy resources were announced on Friday. “A new capacity investment scheme, which will unleash billions of dollars of stored, dispatchable renewable energy right across our country,” Mr Bowen told a press conference on Saturday. “We had 4 gigawatts of energy leave the grid under the Liberals, and only gigawatt come on, that’s a part of the reason why we face this energy crisis.” It’s called kicking the can down the road Liar, we do *not* import coal from Ukraine or Russia. Bowen is trashing *our* money for *his* idiology. That’s because nobody sleepwalks backwards.

Energy package is no ‘magic bullet’ but will take sting out of price rises: BowenEnergy Minister Chris Bowen has accepted the Energy Price Relief Plan will not 'solve all the problems' in the energy market but insisted the Government took 'decisive action' to protect consumers from price rises. Solving the symptom and not the problem. Government in a nutshell. It’s a LOT more than the crooked, do-nothing Morrison Government did! And in a Far Shorter time period. It will cause more problems and solve none.

‘Intermittent, not dispatchable’: Renewable energy’s ‘often not there when you want it’The phrase “dispatchable renewable energy” has to be one of the “great oxymorons of our time”, says Sky News host Chris Kenny. On Thursday, Energy Minister Chris Bowen said the government would call auctions for bids for dispatchable renewable energy. “Dispatchable renewable energy? That's the whole problem with renewable energy, it's intermittent, it's not dispatchable, it’s often not there when you want it,” Mr Kenny said. “When you have it, it’s great, but when the wind isn't blowing or the sun isn't shining, it’s about as good as, well, it’s about as good as a politician’s promise to lower your power bill by $275 a year.” You people are becoming more detached from reality by the day.. you have zero influence anymore. You helped ruin the liberal party. It's fantastic Lefties who say no to coal/gas or nuclear are like the drunk drive who the cops pull over & insist they aren't DWI & speed off, go through red-lights then crash & kill themselves, rather than having to admit they're drunk. I still remember how the environment movement forced companies like McDonald's to move from paper to plastic (save the trees). Didn't work out well and we now have a worse world for it Now they want un- recyclable material like solar panels, batteries, and wind farms... bad

$1.5bn energy price relief package for Australians including caps on coal and gasTreasury advised the PM and premiers not to deliver the rebates as cash handouts due to risk of fuelling inflationary pressure It's no wonder why Labor get labelled as bad managers of the economy which ultimately results in high debt. They fail to respect even the most basic market principles of supply and demand. Even worse they are now trying to manipulate the market. A big no-no🤐 Q. So where does the bill relief money come from? A. Taxpayers. Q. Where does it go? A. Mostly taxpayers. Q. Is this efficient? A. Of course not. But politically brilliant. This article doesn't mention the billions that are going to be given to fossil fuel folk as 'compensation' for capping coal prices

Coal price cap ‘won’t have a big impact’ on energy billsNSW Minerals Council CEO Stephen Galilee says the coal price cap “probably won’t have a big impact” on the price of electricity that households are paying. “We hope that the commercial impact on our producers is going to be minimal,” Mr Galilee told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Some credit should go towards the New South Wales government for … making sure that the interest of New South Wales taxpayers and jobs … are being protected.” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says, 'banning fossil fuel exports and new coal and gas mines to try and reduce climate emissions won’t stop global warming but would devastate the Australian economy '
