🚨 Gas bans are just the beginning 🔥

Family First will fight every step of the way to protect your right to cook with gas, heat water with gas, and choose affordable energy.

Clover Moore’s Sydney gas cooktop ban starts in 2026 — and shockingly, Liberal Councillor Lyndon Gannon backed it!

Why hasn't the NSW Liberal Party reprimanded him?

💥 Victoria’s next. NSW is already falling. Labor and Liberals are united on net zero madness — and families are paying the price.

🛑 No more bans. No more blackouts. No more unaffordable power bills.

✅ Family First says: coal ➡ gas ➡ nuclear — not chaos.

Family First will fight for choice on gas right through to the next Victorian and NSW elections — and beyond.

The relentless assault on peoples’ choice when it comes to gas appliances by ideologically driven councils and governments is an attack on families, common sense, and affordable energy.

The latest example is City of Sydney Mayor Clover Moore’s decision to ban gas cooktops in all new homes from 2026.

Shockingly, the motion passed unanimously — including with the support of Liberal Councillor Lyndon Gannon.

Family First condemns this betrayal of Liberal voters and demands to know: why has the NSW Liberal Party failed to reprimand him?

Family First will fight to overturn this ban.

Gas is a safe, abundant, and efficient energy source — especially in New South Wales and Victoria.

Yet governments at every level are deliberately restricting access to it. They are not only banning new gas connections — they are also blocking gas exploration and development, choking supply and driving up prices.

Family First will also fight to axe Victoria’s ban on gas hot water systems and restore the right of new homes to connect to gas.

The idea that electrification will reduce household bills is nonsense — especially as net zero policies continue to drive reliable coal-fired baseload power out of the system.

Piling more demand onto an already strained grid is a recipe for higher prices, instability, and blackouts.

It’s families who will pay the price, forced to use expensive electricity for basic needs like cooking and hot water, while politicians virtue-signal about climate targets.

Family First supports a rational energy transition: from coal to gas to nuclear — not a chaotic lurch into unreliable renewables and unaffordable electrification.

Australians want choice. They want to cook with gas. They want warm showers without the fear of blackouts or soaring power bills.

Labor and Liberal, hand in hand on net zero, are taking that choice away.

Family First will take the fight to the anti-gas zealots — and win.

No more bans, give people choice. No more energy madness.

It’s time to put Australian families first — with abundant, affordable gas.
