Theoretically, there are no bad ideas in brainstorming, but the pitch for a "gas-led" economic recovery hasn’t won many fans. The Government-picked team that's steering Australia's route out of the COVID-19 downturn is making a case for a massive publicly funded expansion of the domestic gas industry. The idea was contained in a draft report from the manufacturing taskforce of the National COVID-19 Coordination Committee, which was leaked last week. The proposal is not only drawing a lot of criticism, it's also shone a spotlight on some of its authors' close links to the gas industry. So how did the launch of one of the first big ideas for fixing Australia's economy go so far off script?  And is our economic recovery going to be all about gas? Featured: Stephen Long, ABC investigative reporter covering business and finance
