Mr Bowen, please trigger the ADGSM now!
Andreas Lundberg
June 2, 2022
Australia’s energy crisis is going from bad to worse: gas prices are soaring, and some energy retailers are going to the wall. I call on the new government to immediately trigger the Australian Domestic Gas Security Mechanism (ADGSM) to make LNG exporters sell into the domestic market and cut gas prices to an acceptable level. As I see it, there is no time to wait. continue…

Food and energy prices hurt living standards
David Buckland
May 30, 2022
In last Thursday’s Chanticleer, my friend Tony Boyd made the following stark observation: In Britain, the regulator warned the electricity price cap is likely to rise to GBP2,800 (A$5,000) from October 2022, a staggering increase of GBP1,500 (A$2,700) in 12 months. It is estimated there are about 6.5 million British households in fuel poverty, defined as spending 10 per cent of income on energy. continue…

With oil & gas companies paying no tax, is it time to trigger the ADGSM?
Andreas Lundberg
May 26, 2022
For some years, there have been loud complaints that the Federal government has failed to deliver an effective energy policy that provides affordable, reliable and low-emissions electricity. This policy failure has resulted in soaring domestic energy prices. To make matters worse, oil and gas companies are paying close to zero tax. To my mind, it’s time for the new government to trigger the Australian Domestic Gas Security Mechanism. continue…

Investors going nuclear!
Roger Montgomery
March 31, 2022
The broad acceptance of the Australian government’s decision to invest in nuclear powered submarines reflects a broader shift in thinking on the subject of nuclear power, its costs and benefits. Meanwhile the rest of the world is experiencing a nuclear power renaissance amid an energy crisis, fuelled by (pun intended) gas and coal shortages, particularly across Europe. continue…

Why weakness in Chinese property doesn’t support increasing iron ore prices
Andreas Lundberg
March 10, 2022
In May 2021, the iron ore price peaked at USD$238/tonne before plunging to USD$80 last November. Since then, the price has rebounded around 75 per cent. But is this rebound warranted? I don’t think so – if you consider the slowdown in Chinese property construction, which accounts for about 42 per cent of Chinese steel demand, and high iron ore inventories at Chinese ports. If fundamentals mean anything, the iron ore price is about to fall again. continue…

Joseph Kim

After a bumper six months, BHP (ASX:BHP) is awash with cash. And it will soon be rewarding its shareholders. In its recent results announcement, the big Australian miner said it will pay a record interim dividend of US$1.50 per share.
