Big Gas promised Australians LNG exports would mean plenty of low cost gas and enormous economic benefits.
None of it was true.
Instead we got gas shortages, manufacturing closures higher energy bills and few economic benefits.

Opinion: Canada, don’t make the same mistake with LNG that Australia did
LNG exports exposed Australians to high global gas prices, allowed gas producers to price gouge and drained the country of low-cost gas reserves

Australia is one of the biggest gas exporters in the world, but we're told to worry about a domestic gas shortage?
Might have something to do with the fact that 80% of our gas is exported.
We have a gas export problem, not a supply problem.
