She’s also defended the government’s position on gas, saying while gas has a role in the state’s power supply as they transition to renewables, it will be cheaper for homes to use electricity.

“Gas has a role to play, that’s why a few months ago, we approved for the first time in 10 years, a gas project in the south-west of the state,” she said.
