Northern Metropolitan Region

Sheena WATT (Northern Metropolitan) (12:52): (1661) Today I have got a constituency question for the Minister for Energy and Resources in the other place, Lily D’Ambrosio. This government knows that across Victoria there are people that are doing it tough. We are absolutely committed to easing cost-of-living pressures for Victorian families, and the upcoming $100 energy bill rebate is a prime example of this. It is programs like this, that are aimed at helping Victorians meet the cost-of-living crisis and easing the hip pocket, that make all the difference. Our previous energy bill rebates were very successful right around the state, and I know that when we had those first few rounds my office had a huge influx of people wanting to come and apply for them. I am expecting the same with the new round to happen later on. My question today for the Minister for Energy and Resources, on behalf of my constituents, is: what sort of households in Northern Metro will be eligible for the new power saving bonus, and what could they expect to save?
