Southern Metropolitan Region

David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (13:02): (1220) I would seek from the Minister for Energy and Resources some figures about my electorate. I would seek from her assistance with the government estimates over the forward estimates period of their intended number of gas disconnections in each of the following municipalities – Boroondara, Whitehorse, Monash, Kingston, Bayside, Port Phillip, Glen Eira, Stonnington and the City of Melbourne. It would be very helpful for me to understand the impact on those in my electorate who wish to maintain gas. It is true that the gas ban that is proposed by government is undemocratic. It will have very significant impacts on individual households, and I want to understand how many will be disconnected by this government in the forward estimates period.
