Australia’s focus is on boosting competitiveness in oil price slump – Minister

Resources and Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg on Monday stated that a focus on boosting Australia’s competitiveness would ensure that the country’s oil and gas industry survived the current price slump.

In an opinion piece published in the Australian Financial Review, the Minister noted that oil prices have declined from $140/barrel in 2008 to around $30/barrel currently, impacting on global and local producers of oil.
