Could have been posted earlier but great words from Scott Morrison today. He is going in to bat for gas.

The prime minister on Thursday used an interview on the Sydney radio station 2GB to tell Kean, the NSW Liberal frontbencher and a vocal advocate for renewable energy, to pull his head in, declaring “if you are not for gas, you are not for manufacturing jobs”.

“I’m afraid the minister is a bit out of step with his own government, their own policy, the premier and indeed the deal he struck with the federal government,” Morrison said. “You’ve got to stick to your deals and stick to your word.”

Morrison is referring to a $2bn deal his government struck with the Berejiklian government earlier this year to increase gas supply and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector.Under that agreement the NSW government committed to facilitating investment opportunities to inject an additional 70 petajoules of gas a year into the east coast market.
