Rowville electorate
Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:41): (774) My question is to the Minister for Energy and Resources. There has been a lot of debate in this chamber and in the Legislative Council about state Labor’s attempt to lower energy costs for Victorians and residents in my electorate of Rowville. One resident in my electorate, Glenn, has received yet another notice that the cost of gas is going up again. So on behalf of Glenn, who wants to know: when will the minister actually address the rising cost of gas during this cost-of-living crisis? Clearly not enough is being done on the already crippling gas prices that residents are facing. Since 2020 the price of gas has risen by more than 150 per cent in Australia, adding to the cost-of-living crisis for many Victorians and those living in the electorate of Rowville.
