NADIA MITSOPOULOS: And when we talk about a green energy future, why aren't you putting more money into getting households off gas? Wouldn't that be good for a green energy future?

MINISTER MADELEINE KING: Look, and there are parts of the budget that are supporting electrification of households. But the thing is, and particularly in Western Australia, most of the use of gas is in industrial applications. Western Australia has made a really important move to move away from coal fired generation by 2029, ahead of the rest of the country in decarbonising out of coal. So, gas will play a part in household power generation, but more importantly, it will play a role in processing of critical minerals, which we know those critical minerals and rare earths are vital to the net zero journey as well.
