§ East coast gas demand to increase threefold by 2018. § LNG export is driving demand growth – international contracts replacing domestic contracts. § Over $60b invested into Eastern Australia LNG facilities & CSG resources. § Queensland has committed to development and is seeing significant economic benefits. § NSW doesn’t have any production to reserve and other States have stated they will not intervene in the market to direct gas to NSW. § Declining existing resources and limited production in Victoria. § Significant risk of under supply to NSW economy & residential consumers. § Consequential risk to higher wholesale gas prices flowing through to retail gas and electricity prices.
