Still showing how little you know about the electricity industry ?
Gas peakers were built for a couple of reasons.
On extreme demand days, typically in summer, coal fired power could no longer deal with the peak demand. Largely because of the introduction of new air conditioning loads over the last 30 years.
On top of that, in extreme heat, coal fired power stations lose efficiency and tend to break down more often.
And let's not forget what happens when coal fired generators crap their pants and shut down unexpectedly.

Then of course there's the need to black start the state. You can't start a coal fired power station without electricity from somewhere else. That's why the large gas fired generators such as Jeeralang in Victoria were built. To back up coal.
It is true that gas peakers will be used in the future as a firming source as the renewable grid is built out. However, it is likely that they will be designed to run on green hydrogen rather than dirty natural gas.
Keep digging that stupid hole of ignorance. No doubt the other trolls will be along shortly to give you a hand.
