Victorian households and businesses are facing the prospect of gas shortfalls as early as next winter.
The Allan Labor Government continues to undermine new conventional gas projects, despite a St Vincent de Paul Society report finding Victorians have paid 22 per cent more for gas and 28 per cent more for electricity over the past year.
Labor in Victoria have been pursuing an anti-gas policy, an ideological approach that is not being driven by practical solutions.
The risk to the state of extreme demand conditions and forecast supply shortages are the result of mismanagement by Labor over the last decade and should concern Victorian businesses and households.
It is time to step back from this ideological approach and open up natural gas supply and storage options.
An incompetent Labor government has left Victorians and the Victorian economy at serious risk.
