It’s a triple-whammy where Australians will see vital industries grind to a halt, high gas prices passed on to them as higher costs, and they’re going to see their superannuation balances suffer as well. Some of the co's most at risk from gas shortages are among the biggest holdings in super funds

Theres a real risk that gas dependent co's will shutter when the shortages hit in as little as 3 years.

These co's produce our food, manufacture our health devices and help build our homes. There are aged care companies who may not be able to provide hot water or heat for elderly residents.

5. Australians will pay the price if companies don’t shift away from gas, through higher prices, loss of services, and potentially large investment losses in their superannuation portfolios.

4. Companies gambling on gas include those that produce our food, manufacture our health devices, and help build our homes. These are companies that could shutter, like others already have, if they continue to remain at the mercy of the gas industry.

3. Too many companies are relying on unlikely solutions outside of their control, like construction of multi-billion dollar pipelines through farmland or buying Australian gas back at international prices. These don’t make sense when the technologies already exist to reduce or remove gas use.

2. Lagging companies gambling with gas don’t have a plan for how they’ll keep operating through gas shortages and price rises - and even leading companies aren’t switching fast enough to avoid the threatened gas shortages and price rises.
