My country effectively did this in 2021. They didn't ban gas, however new buildings cannot meet energy efficiency standards if they use gas for heating, meaning you need a heat pump. Induction already became the standard for cooking ~10 years ago.
The thing is though we are in Northern Europe where temperatures below -20C / -5F are normal during winter. If it can work here, there's no reason why it can't work basically everywhere. In somewhere like Australia where sunlight is a plenty all year round, it seems stupid not to go that route.
