Still tickets left for this important policy launch

Dear ,

We've had a busy month, week actually, with Doctors Against Mandates last night, and Coral Bleaching Tragedy on Sunday. But from our point of view the most important is Coal, oil and gas - pessimists and optimists next Tuesday.

Gene Tunny is completing a study into what radical Green/Left policies on fossil fuels would do to the Queensland economy. It will be launched at this lunch function, to be followed by a panel discussion involving two giants of the coal oil and gas industries in Queensland

This will be in the Brisbane Club and the date is July 26, 2022 at 12:00 PM. It's a two-course meal with drinks.

If you've already booked, my apologies, but if not, please read on.

Apart from Gene, our panellists are Mick McCormack, Chair of Central Petroleum and former Executive Director of energy infrastructure giant APA; and Nick Jorss, Executive Chair of Queensland's newest metallurgical coal exporter Bowen Coking Coal, and the man behind the success of Stanmore.

A couple of years ago these industries were demonised and companies pressured not to finance or insure them, or have anything else to do with them. It was said they would go broke, and there was no demand for their products. A couple of years later, partly as a result of underinvesment, and partly because of supply shocks from COVID and the war in Ukraine, and partly because of the cycle, their products are at record prices.

As a result shareholders in these companies are happy, their customers are struggling, and inflation is stalking the economy.

We need rationality and straight-talking. There is no magic wand that can wave fossil fuels away and maintain even a semblance of a reasonable standard of living for humanity. This is our first gambit in opening that conversation up.

I hope to see you there. (The link to book is https://coal_oil_gas.eventbrite.com.au in case you missed it above).
