It is but the price of gas is tied absolutely to the general price of energy - for which read oil. The sell out of our geological resources has been ongoing since the original Tara mine saga. Ray Burke was minister for energy when the 'extraordinary', 'sweetheart', royalty-free deal as various commentators described it over the years for the current exploitation was negotiated. And as someone pointed out below he was just released from jail the other day. Enough said perhaps.
