 Kathleen MATTHEWS-WARD (Broadmeadows) (14:44): (1463) My question is for the Minister for Energy and Resources, and I ask: how many constituents in Broadmeadows have taken up the latest round of the power saving bonus? The Victorian Labor government’s $100 power saving bonus for concession card holders helps with the cost of living, especially at this time of year. I know that the Glenroy Neighbourhood House, Banksia Gardens Community Services and Dallas Neighbourhood House have been doing a wonderful job of helping people apply. The fabulous staff at my office have also helped hundreds of people. I encourage anyone who has not yet applied to drop in with your power bill or jump onto the Victorian Energy Compare website, and while you are at it, make sure you are getting the best electricity deal. Our Labor government is on your side with cost-of-living relief when and where it is needed most.
