 Jacinta ERMACORA (Western Victoria) (13:19): I would like to update the house on the take-up of the Allan Labor government’s power saving bonus in my community. At a time when cost-of-living relief is vital, I can announce that as of a couple of days ago 4116 people in my community have already received their power saving bonus – that is in the South-West Coast area. That means that 4116 pensioners, carers, veterans and low-income households have already received their $100 bonus, and many of these have received their assistance through my brand new office at 165 Liebig Street, Warrnambool.

Members interjecting.

Jacinta ERMACORA: Just a little bit proud. Yes, the German pronunciation is Liebig, but we are pretty good at getting pronunciation wrong in Warrnambool. Anybody else needing help can call my office or pop in and my very, very friendly staff will help.

Just in closing, I want to say happy Christmas and happy holidays to everybody, and I hope everybody comes back refreshed and energised next year.
