If we were facing a water shortage in Aus, our first step wouldn't be to start importing water. We'd say 'how can we reduce water demand?' So when the majority of Australian gas is exported, why are we looking to import gas from overseas? Polly Hemming on ABC News #auspol

"You're giving the gas away for free, Albo." The PM was heckled over the minuscule amounts of tax paid by the gas industry - and "he's got a point" said Ben Fordham on 2GB. Teachers in Australia pay twice as much tax as the entire oil and gas industry. #auspol

"Anyone who tells you that there isn't enough gas for Australians just doesn't want to sell it to Australians." - Research Director Rod Campbell on The Project Roderick Campbell #auspol

"Are we mugs? Absolute mugs?" Gary Adshead 6PR Perth can't believe the gas industry are calling to import more gas into Australia when 80% of our gas is exported overseas, largely royalty-free. Roderick Campbell dismantles the gas shortage myth #auspol #climate

"If we're going to import gas, that is a huge failure of public policy...to require the gas companies to reserve gas to suit Australia's domestic needs. "This will make us the laughing stock of the world." - Former South Australian Premier Hon Mike Rann

In less than 60 sec Roderick Campbell debunks the gas shortage farce. "The problem is we let multinational gas corporations export as much as they want, and are essentially able to dictate the terms that they want." On ABC News with Andy Park. #auspol abc.net.au/listen/program…
