The Andrews government announced a ban on gas beginning next year as part of Victoria's move towards net zero emissions by 2045, but Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has claimed the move 'is not about the climate'.
The major energy reform was announced on Friday as part of the government's push to meet its emissions reduction targets of 75 per cent to 85 per cent by 2035 and net zero by 2045.
Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has blasted the Andrews government over its decision to ban gas connections for all new homes built in Victoria from next year. Senator Canavan weighed in on Friday, blasting the decision and arguing Australians should have the right to choose how they power their homes.
