Good interview. Interested to hear that this guy has also sat on select committees so he's no tabloid commentator.

This will unravel for Labour much more quickly that they could ever imagine.

I also note this from Australia today:

Australia’s energy market operator has convened an emergency meeting of the gas industry after warning fuel supplies are running tight and without urgent action there could be insufficient reserves for the rest of winter.

The alert underscores Australia’s tight gas supplies, which could send electricity bills higher and heighten concerns around the viability of the country’s manufacturing sector, which dependent on gas for its operations.

The Australian Energy Market Operator on Wednesday sent a note to Australia’s gas industry, warning the market has tightened substantially amid supply disruptions from a major source that has caused a depletion of reserves from a major stockpile.

“The supply of gas in all or part of the east coast gas system may be inadequate to meet demand,” AEMO said in a notice sent to the gas industry on Wednesday.

Sources said the market operator was convening a phone hook up with gas players on Thursday to discuss the unfolding scenario.

An industry response could include Queensland producers and shippers delivering gas to users in the southern states.
