February 8, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington says South Burnett families could be slugged on their power bills thanks to the State Government.<\/p>\n

She said the Labor Government had dismissed many recommendations from the Queensland Productivity Commission\u2019s draft report into electricity prices, including changing solar feed-in tariffs and ways of improving competition in regional Queensland.<\/p>\n

\u201cTreasurer Pitt is already refusing to accept the Queensland Productivity Commission\u2019s advice, meaning South Burnett families could end up paying more just so Labor can meet their poorly conceived and uncosted election commitments,\u201d Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s already scared the pants off pensioners by announcing he would consider the report\u2019s recommendation to scrap the $321 Electricity Rebate Scheme for Queensland Seniors Card holders, only to drop the idea 24 hours later.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s more, he has rejected the QPC\u2019s assertion that legacy costs of the previous Labor Government\u2019s Solar Bonus Scheme are hurting low-income households and adding $89 to the typical power bill this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI certainly don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair that South Burnett families are facing higher power bills and I\u2019ll be taking the fight up to the Labor Government to ensure these changes are put where they belong \u2013 in the bin.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a year in office it\u2019s clear this government still has no plan to help families with power costs. South Burnett residents deserve better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
