 Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (12:54): My question is for the Minister for Energy and Resources. How is the Allan Labor government’s power saving bonus helping eligible constituents in Southern Metro save on their power bills? Almost a quarter of a million eligible households have already knocked 100 bucks off their energy bills thanks to the power saving bonus. I have had several constituents come through the door of my electorate office, and we have been able to provide them with help in making those applications. Millions of dollars of savings have been provided to Victorians to help with their power bills. Eligible Victorians – those with a pensioner concession card, a healthcare card or Veterans Affairs card – can claim their bonus through the Victorian Energy Compare website. Applications close at the end of March. Apply now and make sure you get your cost-of-living support from the Labor government. We are there to help Victorians with the cost of living.
