My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. The government is currently undertaking a Gas Market Review, with the premise that we need new gas production for our domestic needs. However, only 16 per cent of Australian LNG was sold to the domestic market last year; the rest was exported. More than enough gas for our domestic needs is sold daily on the spot market and exported. Why is the government supporting more gas projects when we have more than enough already, and when will you intervene to protect our access to our own gas resources?
