Looming east coast shortage sparks war of words over Australian gas

The Victorian and New South Wales state governments have hit back at claims made by Premier Malcolm Turnbull that the state governments are failing to develop available gas resources, exacerbating the looming gas shortage faced by the Australian east coast.

Turnbull this week urged the New South Wales government to approve the Narrabri gas project being developed by oil and gas major Santos, saying it would add over 58 PJ/y of gas.
