An open letter to all Senators of the Australian Parliament from organisations that rarely speak with one voice: unions, manufacturers, energy users and businesses, representing hundreds of thousands of Australian workers and their families urging the Senate to pass the Domestic Gas Reservation Bill 2026, preserving its key design elements, before it rises for the year.
Delay is not a neutral outcome and we ask every Senator to put the national interest first and pass this Bill.
