Fuel supply and prices

 Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (09:52): From this week Victorians can claim a 20 per cent rebate on their car registration. We know that the war in the Middle East has elevated the cost of transport, meaning filling up the car is now more expensive than ever. And in recognition of this, this year Labor has delivered two months of free public transport and fares have been cut in half for the rest of the year. But for many Victorians, running a car is not optional and not all trips can be easily substituted for public transport, and that is why we are cutting the cost of rego. We are offering a cash rebate on your registration. From this Monday, Victorians have been able to claim a 20 per cent rebate on the cost of their registration this financial year, and as of today, more than a million Victorians have processed a claim for 20 per cent off their rego. It applies to cars, utes, vans, motorcycles, and because some families need more than one car, you can claim up to two vehicles per person. You can apply now on the Service Victoria website or on the Service Victoria app, and you have got until 31 July to do so. We are putting money back in families’ pockets – $186 for one car, $372 for two – paired with mandatory real-time reporting on the Servo Saver app. Labor is helping Victorians on the move to get to the places they need to go at a lower cost.
