There's something pretty interesting in the federal government's gas projections
Turns out, Australia’s gas consumption actually peaked years ago, and it's projected to keep falling.

🇦🇺 has a gas export problem, not a gas supply problem - we export 80-90% of our gas (with little return to taxpayers).
The Govt should use export controls to give 🇦🇺 households & businesses immediate cost of living bill relief. There's no need to open more gas fields.
