The PM, bless his buttocks,
believes in gas.
But a few people
(well quite a lot)
are wrinkling their noses
and trying to get
out of Scotty’s lift.
**
What problem is he solving?
**
Not price
we Aussies are paying
through the nose.
**
Not supply.
1000megawatts?
(Gezundheit)
That’s what he wants
on tap, you know
But demand has dropped –
62% since 2014
**
Not emissions
(except maybe
of particulates.
Gas is more aerosol
but as we all know
from COVID
that doesn’t mean
less dangerous)
**
Not investor confidence.
They’re confused
by this “small government”
having such
enormous hands
all of a sudden.
**
It’s all a bit on the nose
to tax payers too.
Building a frumpish
gas plant
will take 5 years
and loads of debt.
Seems a funny
choice for infrastructure
investment
when we could have
railways
battery storage
roads
recycling plants
mobile towers in remote areas
internet speeds at world standard.
**
Or even just a methane
processing plant
next to every tip.
**
That’s a gas, Prime Minister.
Not your normal hot air.
