Energy policy

Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:00): I rise today as well to speak on rising energy bills, which have been an absolutely atrocious situation for people in my area. Yesterday I had a message from Grandma Trudy in Frankston, who told me that her bills for electricity used to be $100 a month. Now they are $90 a week. How are people supposed to be able to afford this? It is just incomprehensible that this government can think it is doing a good job and helping Victorians with their rising energy bills – absolutely ridiculous.
