We believe it’s completely wrong to open up new areas for petroleum or other dirty fossil fuels during the climate crisis and the cost of living crisis and therefore shouldn't go ahead ❌

The survey consists of only 3 questions and asks how the release of the areas (The Bay of Islands and Gippsland) may impact you, the community or the environment, and also asks if you have any ideas that would minimise the impact.

We know not everyone is in a position to electrify, some are renting or aren't financially able to yet. This is why we're using 100% of our surplus revenue from gas to help our customer members reduce their energy use or where possible get off gas. 2/4
