If we're serious about realising a Future Made in Australia, manufacturers need stable, affordable energy to get them through the present. That means a reservation. Let’s get it done. Join the campaign to Reserve Our Gas today:

Mark repeated our National Secretary Paul Farrow’s comments from earlier this year: "There won't be a reform…that would create a bigger or faster boost to productivity than an east coast gas reservation."

The AWU has strongly endorsed today’s announcement of a rescue package for the Mount Isa copper smelter and Townsville refinery. This means job security and a real future for over 1,000 workers in North QLD - and for Australia's critical metals processing capacity.

It doesn't matter if it's an existing project or a future development. It's Australia's gas, and locals deserve a fair share! It's time for the government stand up and do what’s right for all gas users, not just big foreign buyers. Read more:

The east coast needs just a fraction of Australia’s gas production to power manufacturers and households - so let's get on with it! We're calling for an east coast reservation that applies to all exporters from day one. #AWU #AWUnion #ausunions #reserveourgas

Unions are asking AME's to complete a short survey to show CASA and Jobs & Skills Australia the truth: There’s no shortage, just a short training gap. If you're an AME or LAME, please take a few minutes to share your thoughts here: https://t.co/FjRxDxBNCe?

If you could sit down with the federal government and the bosses of Australia, what would you say?

CASA claims there’s a shortage of Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (LAME) in Australia. But we know the truth - many AMEs are already close to completing their CASA Category B licence training, or would jump at the chance if given the opportunity.

These are workers who have endured three years of wage freezes and are the lowest paid engineers in the industry. It's disgraceful. The workers who deliver the profits deserve their fair share. Come on, Qantas - no more delays, it's time for fair pay!

Unions representing over 30,000 Qantas employees have condemned the airline’s corporate greed, saying the $2.4 billion underlying profit margin is built on the back of an underpaid, disrespected...

Is it in the 'spirit of Australia' to make billions from underpaying, disrespecting and even illegally sacking your workforce? One day after receiving a $90 million fine, Qantas threatened to remove the backpay of workers during negotiations if they refused to play ball.

It's going to take bold action to rein in the big gas exporters, but it's time to call their bluff. We must stand firm and make sure Australians get a fair go. Because it's our gas, so let's reserve some for us! You can read our full submission here:

Gas exporters can, and must, supply a reasonable share of gas to local manufacturers and households before they're allowed to ship it overseas - whether it's extracted from an existing gas field or from new projects.

The government needs to face the facts and stand up for Australian manufacturers. A domestic reservation would only use about 20% of Australia's supply, leaving more than enough for the international market. Check out our full submission here:
