Energy policy

Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (18:33): (1710) My adjournment matter tonight is for the Minister for Energy and Resources, and the action that I seek is for the minister to join me and visit one of the many households in the Southern Metropolitan Region who have accessed the government’s solar homes rebate or the Victorian energy upgrade discounts and installed new energy-efficient heat pumps or hot-water systems. Labor is supporting households to save on their energy bills through rebates for solar panels, through rebates for heat pumps and through support for energy-efficient upgrades that both save households on their energy bills and are good for the environment. These programs are win-win.
