Peter Dutton urges Jacinta Allan to ‘reconsider’ key policy decision

Federal opposition leader Peter Dutton is calling on Jacinta Allan to look at changing Victoria’s gas policy.

The election campaign is officially on after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese set the date for May 3, with Victoria’s decision to phase out gas being used in homes looming as a key policy decision both at a state and federal level.

Mr Dutton told Tom Elliott it was fanciful to suggest an economy can run without using gas.

“Hopefully, Premier (Jacinta) Allan can reconsider her position in relation to gas,” he said on 3AW Mornings.

“We just cannot pretend anymore that our economy can run without gas.”
