Russell: Who Took My Gas? Australia's LNG Boom Hurts Locals

The key for Australia's domestic gas market is to develop new sources of supply that will ensure that the needs of LNG plants and local users will be met.

The only way to do this is to get politicians in New South Wales and Victoria to stand up to the environmental and farming lobbies, by convincing communities that the science and regulation of extracting gas from coal seams is sound and reliable.

Other than that, the domestic gas industry, from producers to consumers, has to convince the community and politicians that the cost of losing what remains of Australia's manufacturing industry outweighs the negligible risks of extracting gas.
