The pace of these new approvals is wild. I wonder how quickly they can actually get the infrastructure moving to make use of these finds. Definitely a huge shift for QLD.

woohooo more free gas for japan!

This should in theory mean cheaper gas for qlders, but likely will mostly be sold overseas or given away. Just for it to be sold back to us.

Keep the gas to make Queensland the best State in Australia. Build industrial capacity in the State and supply gas to the people of the State at dirt cheap rates..

Awesome (maybe), considering that state government isn't labor maybe we can use this resource for ourselves. 🤞.

I don't know what these people are talking about but
You get gas and oil from vegetation.. The Earth is not a spinning ball of fire
That is able to stay underneath the water in the land until if the earth opens up or something like that.And it spews out, that's all make believe garbage right there..

This is getting seriously heavy. Hard to believe we're still seeing new twists in this probe years later. Do we reckon this is finally where it all comes to a head? What's your take—does he actually face charges now?

Man, these press scraps are getting more intense than a final boss fight. Total chaos on the screen. Do you think anyone actually gets a clear answer out of these briefings anymore, or is it just all noise?

This feels like such a calculated move. It’s frustrating when political responses feel more like a PR script than an actual conversation about something so serious. Do you think he's just playing it safe for the polls, or is this genuinely how he feels?

Australia has plenty of uranium as well but until now the government has vowed to keep it in the ground. Now as from last week it is ok to sell to India to run their nuclear plants but not in Australia.
