Before you do a bit of Labor bashing , the Liberals in Victoria also supported the moratorium on drilling for gas onshore . It is patently ridiculous that this is the case as drilling offshore has been done for over 40 years and continues to this day .
And before you blame governments , there are several councils in Victoria that jumped on it early so it really is apolitical . All based on zero knowledge I might add .
It is only the federal Coalition ( yes , Malcolm Turnbull's government ) that is calling for the lifting of the ban .
