The Victorian Government has just announced a plan to phase out gas heaters and hot water systems as they reach the end of their life.

But the gas industry is fighting hard to derail this progress. They’re using dirty tactics, like planting paid advertorials disguised as news in major papers.
So let’s show the Victorian government that the community supports bold action to cur pollution, cut bills, and electrify our homes — send your local MP a copy of our briefing paper! (read it here)
