Ed Husic says Australia ‘begs for the scraps’ from profiteering gas companies – video

Labor MP Ed Husic has delivered an impassioned speech in parliament demanding gas producers sell cheaper fuel for Australian use. 'Our gas, our prices: that should be the bedrock, the cornerstone of our thinking,' said Husic. 'We cannot tolerate being lectured to by overseas buyers telling us what we can do with our gas when they on-sell the gas they get from us to make a massive profit.' He said 'tinkering at the edges' of reform would not fix a 'fundamentally distorted' gas market
