"There is a lot to unpack in the Albanese government’s Future Gas Strategy, a
mind-boggling policy move that seeks to lock the fossil fuel into Australia’s
energy and export – and greenhouse gas emissions – mix to 2050 and beyond.
Do we really need to continue digging up and exploiting new gas projects? And
how does the government propose to square all this gas digging, exporting and
burning with the race to net zero, which according to the science must happen
by 2035, and not 2050.
Federal resources minister Madeleine King said on Thursday that her department
has used “evidence and data” to establish six principles to underpin – or to
justify – the Future Gas Strategy, and to move discussion “beyond unthoughtful
slogans.”
Happily, a number of very thoughtful people and organisations have quickly set
to work on fact-checking it. Here’s what they have found."
