Abstract
The world is increasingly taking interest in the potential for a shale gas revolution. Australia is no exception to this trend. The key question for Federal, State and local governments is, assuming a shale gas revolution is seen as desirable, what policy measures may be taken in order to achieve this end and what should any debate over shale gas policy be focusing on? This brief paper sets the context for any shale gas revolution. It then outlines the characteristics present in the US that were necessary for the generation of its shale gas revolution. In the context of Australia, there are many barriers to reproducing these characteristics. This paper considers what policy options are available to reduce such barriers and lead Australia to its own shale revolution.
