One Nation drops gas reservation stance, favoring Rinehart-linked policy

One Nation has quietly abandoned its support for a domestic gas reservation policy on Australia's east coast, instead backing a policy that benefits its major donor, Gina Rinehart. The Albanese government's proposed reservation policy would require exporters to supply a portion of gas domestically, a move opposed by Rinehart's interests. This shift raises questions about political influence and policy consistency, though the exact details of the new policy One Nation supports remain unclear.
