Box Hill electorate
Paul HAMER (Box Hill) (14:39): (191) My constituency question is for the Minister for Energy and Resources. How many households in the Box Hill electorate have taken advantage of the government’s current round of the power saving bonus? The Andrews government’s power saving bonus is providing effective and immediate cost-of-living relief for all Victorians, and since the opening of the current round of applications, our office has been actively promoting and assisting hundreds of local residents to access this initiative. I have been pleased to see the significant uptake of the power saving bonus in the diverse community of Box Hill. Just last week the minister visited one of our local community groups, the Box Hill Chinese Yue opera group. We were out there listening to one of their performances, and we also gave them the opportunity to take advantage of the power saving bonus and have the minister there. So I thank the minister for coming along, and I look forward to the minister’s response.
