What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A plan to mandate a domestic gas reservation scheme is likely to become law, requiring producers to set aside 20 per cent of their annual exports for Australian consumers. The policy, originally pitched to lower electricity prices, is now being framed as a benefit to manufacturing. The Greens criticized the scheme, arguing it encourages environmental harm and provides an unneeded windfall for gas companies.
