Our Action Network volunteers had hundreds of conversations with communities all over Victoria about the support they need to ditch expensive and polluting gas.
Our Action Network volunteers had hundreds of conversations with communities all over Victoria about the support they need to ditch expensive and polluting gas.
Throughout the depths of winter our volunteers spoke to a whopping 582 Victorians from Bairnsdale to Clunes, Dandenong to Hastings, and many other towns and regional areas around the state – about the rising costs and health impacts of using gas in our homes.
Out of those surveyed, 83 per cent said they support getting Victoria off gas by 2035, with many emphasising the support the state government should be providing Victorians to switch to electric appliances, especially for low-income households and renters. Through these surveys and a Gas Briefer report, we managed to get these stories out into mainstream media.
