French here, we have the same kind of regulation since 2020 I believe.

Do you produce gas in Australia?

Here it's all imported (and it was mostly from Russia before the Ukraine war) and we produce electricity mostly from nuclear plants so it's easy to push gas out the homes.

Shit loads of it, along with coal its a massive earner for export.

Our two major political parties have so much coal and gas money pumping into them that anything that may reduce the profitability doesn't get far.

We don't have gas at home but I think it's stupidly expensive as a local consumer too.
