 Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:50): (1940) My question is to the Minister for Energy and Resources. Many families in the south-east are feeling the pinch of rising living costs, particularly when it comes to household energy bills, which is why the government’s power saving bonus has provided welcome relief to many, many residents, especially seniors and those with language barriers who have been able to access this service. But some have told me about the difficulties they have faced accessing the support online. I have had some very good conversations with people out in the Mulgrave electorate when doorknocking along with the fantastic local member there, Eden Foster, and supporting her with her conversations with that community as well. I ask: Minister, how is the government supporting families in my region to more easily access energy bill support?
