The NSW Opposition has welcomed today\u2019s joint investment between the Federal and NSW Governments to improve energy efficiency in social housing but says the support doesn\u2019t go far enough.
\u00a0
Leader of the Opposition Mark Speakman is calling on Premier Chris Minns to adopt the Oppositions\u2019 NSW Energy Bill Saver program that would allow all households to receive $250 off their energy bills and unlock up to $400 in further savings by switching energy plans to a lower deal.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cChris Minns is determined to pick winners and losers as families and households struggle under Labor\u2019s cost of living crisis,\u201d Mr Speakman said.
\u00a0
\u201cEveryone is struggling to make ends meet at the moment, and our NSW Energy Bill Saver program would have provided help for hard working families right across our State. Chris Minns decided to scrap this commitment and instead deliver limited energy relief.\u201d
\u00a0
The Opposition pointed to Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese\u2019s broken promise to deliver $275 off power bills, saying Chris Minns\u2019 decision is making a bad situation worse.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cIt\u2019s clear that when it comes to cost of living support Chris Minns is out of touch and Labor simply can\u2019t deliver,\u201d Mr Speakman said.
\u00a0
\u201cOur focus is on holding this Government to account for their cuts to Back to School vouchers, Active Kids, Creative Kids, First Lap vouchers and energy relief, cuts that are hurting families and households across NSW,\u201d Mr Speakman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
