The Australian Financial Review’s Jennifer Hewett filed two columns this week from the Australian Energy Producers conference in Adelaide, discussing the government’s plans for a domestic gas reservation policy and a gas tax.

Labor’s plans for a reservation policy were “creating tensions with the industry” and there was “general confusion and alarm on full display at the conference”, she wrote.
