Twiggy's folly, page-14

"according to Forrest, our national problem with gas supply, superbly engineered by the mighty giants, has ensured they make tremendous profits while keeping the cost of LNG low enough to keep potential competitors out of the action. "

"according to Forrest..." may just as well have been "according to someone with strong vested interests... ", for there are few who have been able to secure for himself free-carried call options on the Great Green Grift, as Mr Forrest.

The reality is that Australia is sitting on zetta Joules of gas reserves that have not been developed to keep up with demand because of all the opposing special interest groups.

But I see that the Labor party is now saying, "Um, actually, it appears we need to develop more gas", something that was being eschewed until now.

In the contest of Politics + Ideology versus Physics + Economics, the latter remains undefeated
