Dutton’s gas plan will chill investment, warns global energy giant
- Under the Coalition's reservation plan, Shell's QCLNG and Australia Pacific LNG must reserve 50 to 100 petajoules of uncontracted gas for local buyers, potentially increasing eastern seaboard supply by 20%.

- Dutton's gas plan has been welcomed by major corporate gas users, who state that gas prices above $10 per gigajoule are untenable in Australia.
