 Ella GEORGE (Lara) (14:48): (1378) My question is for the Minister for Energy and Resources. Like the member for Northcote, I would also like to know how many people in the Lara electorate have applied for the current round of the power saving bonus. My office has helped hundreds of people with their applications over the past few months, and I know that many local community centres and neighbourhood houses in the Lara electorate have done the same, helping hundreds of people in our community. We have had so much positive feedback about how the power saving bonus is helping with the cost of living. With many families facing cost-of-living pressures, this is a really great way to help and have conversations about changing energy plans at the same time. I look forward to hearing from the minister about how many people in the Lara electorate have applied for the power saving bonus.

Bridget Vallence: On a point of order, Speaker – where would you be without me raising a point of order post question time? – yet again a number of questions remain unanswered and overdue for constituents. A number of questions to the Treasurer are overdue. These are questions on notice 2421, 2512, 2777, 2853, 2854, 2855, 2856, 2857, 2858, 2859, 2860, 2861 and 2862. Overdue questions on notice to the Minister for Government Services are 2763, 2764, 2765 and 2776. I would appreciate responses for my constituents, please.
