The federal government is laying blame for Australia's current gas crisis at the feet of the Coalition, accusing it of botching energy policy for close to a decade and leaving Australians in the cold this winter.

Mr Littleproud questioned suggestions companies did not have any more gas to pump into the system, insisting that was a failure of ministers rather than suppliers.
