A top energy group has debunked Victorian Energy Minister Lily D’Ambrosio’s claim her state is a net exporter of gas to Queensland during a social media outburst in which she accused fellow Laborite Madeleine King of behaving like “a Coalition minister”.

Ms D’Ambrosio’s lashing of the federal resources minister, who was seemingly compared to LNP predecessors including Keith Pitt and Matt Canavan, stunned federal Labor, with one senior member observing that “on gas, it’s always someone else’s fault”.
