More than 1/2 the gas we export was given to the gas industry for free. Imagine if, in a cost of living crisis, we made the fossil fuel companies pay for the gas we let them export & spent the $s providing cheaper services in Australia. Government policy matters #auspol #insiders

Microsoft: "It's not that bad – our products are currently running almost as well as they normally do."
