Gas Lobby Pushes Victoria to Reverse Ban on New Homes Amid Election

The Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) is reportedly campaigning against Victoria's ban on gas connections for new homes, warning that energy bills could rise by $100 annually if the ban remains. This claim has been met with skepticism from experts who argue that the ban could actually lead to savings for households.

Watch for AGIG's lobbying tactics as the Victorian election approaches. The debate over gas connections could influence voter sentiment and policy direction. Keep an eye on upcoming regulatory announcements and potential shifts in public opinion regarding energy sources.
