At the same time, at least one of those companies – Woodside – has plans to rapidly expand fossil fuel production. Contradictions all around?last week said “more than 60% of Victorians” believed gas had an “important role to play in Australia’s transition to net zero carbon dioxide emissions”. Goot told Temperature Check they were written in a way that bore “some of the hallmarks of advocacy polling” and tended to encourage the reader to give an “affirmative response”.One question said: “Prime Minister Anthony Albanese recently said gas has a key role to play in our transition to renewable energy and will help smooth the shift to renewables.

A second question said: “Renewable gases are produced using natural biological processes, or converting water to hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energy. They are net-zero gases and can be used to replace natural gas in homes and businesses. What is your attitude toward using renewable gas in your home?”
