obviously industry will not be shut off from gas supply.
its absurd to go over the top like that brucey.
yes theres a push to reduce the domestic use of gas for appliances such as cookers and heating. electricity tech has become more versatile and less emissions. therefore the govts, in keeping with the drive to lower GHG emissions, are encouraging a transition and the ban on new housing having access to gas appliances is part of the transition.
from your link: "The Victorian government says moving to electricity will cut carbon emissions, help the state reach its emissions reduction targets and reduce reliance on high-polluting fossil fuels. "Natural gas is a fossil fuel. It's also a key contributor to Australia's greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to global warming and climate change. The gas sector contributes about 17% of the state's emissions. "New technology means cleaner, more efficient options are available that can also save households money."
