Why not spend $2.7b on solar & batteries instead?
Govt to pay up to $180m/year or $2.7b over 15 years to lease LNG re-gasification plant, paid for by $15-$30 'levy' per household per year. That $2.7b would build four Benmore Dams worth of electricity

Here’s the thing. Power bills in this country suck. The price keeps going up. It’s a financial burden on many households. Campaigning on actual measures that would lower those bills - forgetting entirely the benefits to the country - would win votes. An LPG terminal isn’t going to win votes.

About 45% of gas produced in this country goes to Methanex, the Canadian multinational. Fonterra is another significant gas user. Just in case you are wondering who stands to benefit most from the planned LNG plant which is to be paid for by me, thee and every other individual user of power.

Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

I still can't really see what problem the LNG import terminal solves.
The Rankines on coal already cap the firming price ($~$200) at less than LNG (~$400). Even diesel is cheaper than that and we already have the import facilities.
