In Australia... we now have to live with statements like this. What have we turned ourselves into? We have abundant of everything and yet we are turning ourselves into third world status when it comes to energy.

The squeeze on supplies spanning South Australia to Tasmania and New South Wales should then ease – provided there aren’t other surprises.
