 John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (14:09): (116) My question is to the Minister for Energy and Resources in the other place, Minister D’Ambrosio, and in asking this I pay tribute to the Andrews Labor government’s $250 power saving bonus. There is very little about this project that you cannot like. If you upload your most recent energy bill to the Victorian Energy Compare website, you can receive our $250 bill-busting, power saving bonus and see if you can get a better deal out of another energy company. That little incentive goes a long way to encourage people to compare, saving Victorians thousands through switching to better deals. Come and visit my office, email us at john.berger@parliament.vic.gov.au or call me on 7008 8466 and we can apply for you. My question to the minister is: how many people in my community of southern metropolitan Melbourne have applied for and successfully received this year’s round of bonuses?
