Minister for Resources and Northern Australia Madeleine King has released the Future Gas Strategy which will support a Future Made in Australia and ensures decisions on gas supply and production will be based on the best possible information.

The Strategy is centred on six principles that will underpin government policy on gas.

• 1 Australia is committed to supporting global emissions reductions to reduce the impacts of climate change and will reach net zero emissions by 2050.
• 2 Gas must remain affordable for Australian users throughout the transition to net zero.
• 3 New sources of gas supply are needed to meet demand during the economy-wide transition.
• 4 Reliable gas supply will gradually and inevitably support a shift towards higher-value and non-substitutable gas uses. Households will continue to have a choice over how their energy needs are met.
• 5 Gas and electricity markets must adapt to remain fit for purpose throughout the energy transformation.
• 6 Australia is, and will remain, a reliable trading partner for energy, including LNG and low emission gases.
