My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Minister, in the context of the highest inflationary pressures in over 30 years, including huge energy price spikes, Victoria has banned gas connections in new homes from 2024. According to Victoria's own energy reporting, the average per unit electricity price is 2.6 times higher than gas. Minister, how does forcing Australians away from cheaper gas ease cost-of-living pressures?
