Labor urged to target gas exporters and bring in east coast reserve ‘right now’ as it weighs scheme’s design

- The Australian Workers’ Union has urged the Albanese government to implement a gas reservation scheme targeting existing gas exporters, emphasizing the need for a straightforward and effective model to address rising gas prices. The government is expected to announce plans for an east coast gas reserve soon.
- This development is significant as it reflects the growing pressure from blue-collar workers and manufacturers on the government to take decisive action against gas companies, which they believe are not adequately addressing price containment in the current market.
