“You’re a flop!” Kyle Sandilands hits back at Dan Andrews’ controversial new policy
Kyle Sandilands has called out Dan Andrews and the Victorian government, as they move to ban all new homes in the state from using gas.
The state government is dubbing the move as a measure to reduce cost of living pressures, claiming households will save up to $1,000 off their annual energy bills while reducing household emissions.
Upon hearing the news of the proposal, the KIISFM radio host branded the Victorian Premier “a flop” and the policy “some bull***t.”
“I’m sick and tired of everyone thinking we’re idiots,” he said on The Kyle & Jackie O Show. “These laws are for idiots. Losers are doing these jobs.”
“They will be banning Bic lighters next, we will be rubbing two sticks together to get a cigarette lit.”
“That government sucks ass. That wandering eyed flop down there can’t have the Commonwealth Games because he can’t budget, now he thinks ‘’Oh, I’ll get the woke losers to vote for me by getting rid of gas’. You’re a flop!”
From January 1st 2024, planning permits for new homes and residential subdivisions will only connect to all electric networks.
To encourage new homeowners to go all-electric and abandon gas, eligible new home builders, as well as existing homeowners and renters, can access $1,400 solar panel rebates and interest free loans of $8,800 for household batteries.
All Victorian households and businesses are also eligible for gas to electric rebates to upgrade heating and cooling and hot water heaters.
Minister for Energy and Resources Lily D’Ambrosio said getting Victorians on more efficient electric appliances would lead to big savings on bills, while also helping to reduce emissions.
“We know that with every bill that arrives, gas is only going to get more expensive,” she said.
“That’s why we’re stepping in to help even more Victorians get the best deal on their energy bills.”
“Reducing our reliance on gas is critical to meeting our ambitious emission reduction target of net zero by 2045 and getting more Victorians on more efficient electric appliances which will save them money on their bills.”
