Readers of The Australian Financial Review have backed the Albanese government’s decision to extend the life of Woodside’s massive North West Shelf project as it seeks to shore up gas reserves to help with Australia’s transition from fossil fuels.
Close to 70 per cent of respondents to the latest reader poll said they agreed with the decision. Only 18 per cent were against it. About 64 per cent of respondents said they supported a push by gas companies to unlock more supply, while 23 per cent were against.
