Point Cook electorate
Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (14:46): (97) My constituency question is for the Minister for Energy and Resources: would the minister please provide an update on the power saving bonus and its uptake and benefits to the people of Point Cook? The power saving bonus is a $250 one-off payment to support Victorian households who are looking for a better deal on their energy. I say to those in the house that it is not about the $250 one-off payment – which is a significant bonus for many people in our community – it is about finding better ongoing power deals, power deals that will cut the cost of living for families over many, many years ahead. The community that I represent is very excited about the next round of the power saving bonus, which is due to open up on the 24th of this month, just a couple of days away. So for anyone who has not got the power saving bonus already, it is time to get it right now and then get ready to get in front of your laptop or in front of your computer with an energy bill and collect the next round and get better savings on your bills.
