How Every Major Party BOWED To The Gas Cartel | Citizens Report 24 Sept 2026

Duration: 55:27
This week Elisa Barwick and Richard Bardon expose the "Great Gas Betrayal", how every major political party has caved to the gas cartel. Pauline Hanson tabled a gas reservation bill in March 2026, demanding Australian gas benefit Australians first. Weeks later, she received a light aircraft donated by Gina Rinehart. By June, One Nation had abandoned its own gas policy calling gas reservation a threat to "domestic" companies, including Senex Energy, which is 51% foreign-owned and 49% owned by Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting.
We also break down:
Labor's toothless gas scheme. Chris Bowen announced "up to" 20% reservation, but there's no floor, no price controls, and no mention of affordability in 130+ pages of legislation
Peter Dutton's abandoned East Coast reservation reportedly killed after Rinehart objected
Colin Barnett's pipeline solution, the former WA Premier's 20-year push for a transcontinental gas pipeline
War & Regulatory Reset. Trump's UN threats against Iran, NATO escalation with Russia, AUKUS as a target, the IMF's austerity demands, and the BIS push for bail-in regimes
Australia Post caught lying to the Senate. CEO Paul Graham contradicted by his own legal counsel, and our proposal to appoint Angela Cramp as the new chair.
