Frankston electorate

Mr EDBROOKE (Frankston) (14:51): (6491) My constituency question is for the Minister for Energy, at the table today, and the information I seek is regarding how many people in the Frankston community have been granted the $250 power saving bonus while saving money on their power bills. Last week I was really excited to announce that my office has helped over 400 people in the Frankston committee gain their $250 power saving bonus.

A member interjected.

Mr EDBROOKE: I hear you ask, ‘How many?’. Four hundred—that is more than $100 000 back in the pockets of very, very happy Frankston community members. They are also getting the best rate on their electricity as well. But we know there have been many, many others. We have heard of people actually making their own little leaflets to put around in their neighbourhood to make sure people do actually access this $250 payment and check their electricity rate. So on behalf of my community I ask: what are the numbers from the Frankston community accessing the power saving bonus?
