Daniel Andrews Pledged Another $250 Power Bill Bonus Round Pls Sir, May We Have Some More?

With just two weeks to go until Victorians head to the polls, both Labor and the Libs are doubling down on their state election promises to address the rising cost of living. Premier Daniel Andrews‘ latest announcement was a pledge to bring back the $250 Power Saving Bonus payments to help households cover their electricity bills. Maybe I won’t have to spend all of next winter in freezing darkness. The Andrews Government offered one-off $250 electricity bill payments to all Vic households in 2021 and it set up the Victorian Energy Compare site to help people find a cheaper power deal amid rising costs. The site’s still going strong and the payments will be available again from March 2023

“Private energy companies rely on people not getting the best deal on their power. In fact, they bank on it. It will mean more money in your pocket now plus savings, each year, every year,” Andrews said.

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will bring back another round of the $250 Power Saving Bonus.

Andrews also announced it would bring back the publicly-owned State Electricity Commission (SEC), which would create 59,000 jobs and support renewable energy projects for years to come.

“It’s no coincidence that ever since privatisation we’ve seen shortages in so many trades,” Andrews said on Sunday.

“Our new SEC will help us find the next generation of tradespeople: maintenance workers, lineys, electricians but also welders, painters and mechanics. Highly qualified, highly paid workers working not for profit, but for people,” he said.
