 Josh BULL (Sunbury) (14:38): (1509) My question is to the Minister for Energy and Resources. Minister, how many constituents in my electorate have accessed the power saving bonus since the start of the fifth round? In my electorate both the team and I have been lucky enough to chat with many locals who have dropped in to talk about the power saving bonus, the application and what it will mean for them. The power saving bonus has provided real cash relief to concession card holding households, making a difference where they need it the most. As the minister knows, this is a significant and important initiative that assists with the cost of living. I take the opportunity to remind members of my community who may come into the office for assistance that applications close on 31 March and remind residents to visit the Victorian Energy Compare website to find the best price offers in the energy market. I thank the minister and her team for their hard work.
