 Mr STAIKOS (Bentleigh) (11:42): (15 026) My constituency question is to the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, and I ask: how will Bentleigh residents benefit from the fantastic new solar policies recently announced by the Andrews Labor government? With the federal Liberal-National government so dysfunctional that they have abandoned trying to develop an energy policy, I certainly welcome the leadership demonstrated by this government through these new initiatives. Solar systems are increasingly popular among households in my electorate not just for their environmental benefits but also because they put power back in the hands of consumers. There has been strong interest in this announcement from Bentleigh residents, and I am sure they would welcome any information that the minister can provide to me on their behalf.
