A proposed gas pipeline, approved in 2009, from Queensland to Newcastle through the Hunter Valley, described as a serious risk to highly erodible soils, cultural heritage, koala habitat. #environment#climate#auspol@Bowenchris@simonahac@sarahinthesen8 https://t.co/6RBzg4qUk9
@MartinMurray_Ag Hear me out - let’s export all our wheat to create a “shortage” so that it’s viable to grow wheat at Cobar for domestic consumption at 2.5 times the export price. Then we’ll import some of ours back to make up the shortfall.
That’s the @SantosLtd’s Narrabri gas business case 🤦♂️
'Even Santos doesn't want Santos'
“Santos is anywhere up to seven years off deciding on the controversial Narrabri Gas project and are only now targeting landholders of the proposed Hunter Gas pipeline to keep on progressing these stalled projects”

.@AdamBandt making a lot of sense at the #NPC today.
"Gas companies made billions in windfall profits. The UK Govt thought 'we should tax that'. Australia didn't."
"It is time we get a fair share of the return and stop the profits all going overseas tax-free." #auspol
More Kabuki theatre from the gas pipeline rent-seekers.
If we have gas shortages or price rises it will because of excessive gas exports.
The gas industry loves blaming everyone else for the shitshow they’ve created.

Fmr NT Labor Chief Minister bet the party’s future on green-lighting fracking and Middle Arm petrochemical hub.
Now she will probably lose her seat to the Greens in massive swing against Labor.
Turns out foreign owned gas corporations don’t vote. Who knew 🤷♀️
Don’t be fooled that Santos’ Narrabri gas project is for the domestic market.
It’s all about exports.
The plan is to lock NSW customers in expensive Narrabri gas so they can export cheaper Cooper Basin gas currently supplying NSW.
It’s a shell game. https://t.co/yATN1E04Wk
Santos doesn’t have a final route, Environmental Impact Statement or planning approval for a Lateral 60klm pipeline & literally years of work to do on 400klm Hunter gas pipeline - seeking landholders sign agreements dated out 7 years. That’s when a FID will be made. @Colpackham
@peterjameswills They’ve been holding this over landholder’s heads for a long time now. They aren’t getting anywhere. We know it’s not needed and dangerous. @PennySharpemlc@CourtneyHoussos
DodgyPR here.
The reality is:
32,000 🏡 vs the Great artesian basin
32,000 🏡 vs #LiverpoolPlains Prime ag land
32,000 🏡 vs the Sacred #Pilliga Forest
Doesn’t add up #BuckOffSantos
@jeromelaxale@coonavass@JasonClareMP This is great news, but Labor would matter more when they stop approving gas projects. There will be no future for the nurses, teachers and social workers without water and food. @tanya_plibersek@AlboMP
NSW National Party, Liberals and Labor voting to allow Santos unfettered spread from the unviable #narrabrigas project into the #liverpoolplains.
Santos has literally years of work yet to go, and farmers, landholders and the community have years of battles in the trenchs ahead.
"Gas companies talk a lot about the economic benefits, but pretty much all the economic benefits go to the gas companies themselves.
"Very little trickles down to communities."
