The Albanese Government’s announcement of a gas reserve for Australians is an acknowledgement that there is no gas shortage, and that excessive exports have driven up energy prices for Australians. The Gas Market Review Report acknowledges that unrestricted exports linked Australian prices to world prices, tripling the cost of gas on Australia’s east coast over

Traditional custodians are fighting back against climate-destroying gas developments being rammed through by Canadian governments.

With the federal government seeking a new way to fix Australia’s self-inflicted “gas crisis”, Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports would solve the problem. The research shows a tax, proposed by the ACTU and supported by the Greens, would increase supply and cut energy bills for Australians. It would also raise around $17 billion

The EPBC is a planning instrument and while this bill is stronger with the Greens’ amendments, it will not secure a safe climate and protect biodiversity.

The Western Australian government’s claim that its domestic gas production is helping Asia’s clean energy transition has been undermined in a leaked report – which it commissioned.

One of the hardest things for people to understand with this latest Liberal Party implosion is that it’s not rational.

New Australia Institute analysis shows that over the past five years the Australian government has allowed the export of enough gas to supply Australia for more than 20 years.

Australia’s natural environment is in crisis and its wealth is disappearing into the hands of a few powerful fossil fuel companies – but it doesn’t have to be this way.

In August, The Australia Institute welcomed the Tasmanian Liberal Party’s promise to conduct an independent study into the salmon industry, pausing marine expansion while the review is carried out. However, the Tasmanian Government’s Terms of Reference were finalised without public consultation. Moreover, the entire study will not provide any recommendations. The Australia Institute has been

I’ve been lucky enough to complete a few multi-day hikes overseas in the past few years. Every morning, I woke up in my tent with the feeling that something wasn’t quite right and then I realised why – it was practically silent. There’s no cackle of kookaburras at dawn, no warble of magpies, or comforting screeches

Corporate tax transparency data released yesterday by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) shows, once again, that multinational gas exporters are reaping billions from Australian resources while paying little or no tax.

The ABC’s report that a top statistician quit a study into whether Woodside’s North West Shelf gas plant was destroying the Murujuga rock art after the WA government misrepresented its findings, is extremely concerning. The gas industry-funded report, which was sat on for months for being released a week before federal Environment Minister Murray Watt said he

This original documentary from The Australia Institute takes viewers to the front line of the destruction that climate change is causing.

Governments say the right things about becoming a ‘renewable energy superpower’ and committing to net zero. But they keep approving new coal and gas projects as if the laws of physics don’t apply to Australia.
