Constituency Question: Energy Costs

Ms SPENCE (Yuroke) — (12 214) My question is to the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change. Noting the recent announcement of the Making Home Energy More Affordable program, how can low‑income earners in the Yuroke electorate access this program and any other energy efficiency programs to reduce and manage their energy costs? As we know, energy costs can quickly add up, particularly in a city like Melbourne that often experiences extreme heat and blistering cold, sometimes on the same day. But it is not just heating and cooling; basic appliances that we all rely on like washing machines can take up a major portion of household energy use. I look forward to being able to provide Yuroke constituents with this information, and I thank the minister for her work in this important policy area.
