Read these with care
- The median is the middle member: half did more, half did less. It is less affected by a few very active members than the average.
- Ministers answer questions rather than ask them, and the presiding officers rarely vote, so their patterns differ.
- Government backbenchers are often given arranged "Dorothy Dixer" questions, which raises their question counts.
- Votes only record ayes and noes, so a missed vote cannot be told apart from a pair (an agreed absence).
- Counts cover only what is on this site, and do not measure electorate or committee work. New members have less history.
Question Time
Question from Jason Wood
The member asked the minister to provide a message to families struggling with power bills and cutting back for Christmas, citing a surge in financial hardship claims and a broken promise to lower prices.
Background: Financial hardship claims related to energy bills had increased. The question challenged the government on its promise to reduce power prices.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The minister stated that the government was working to lower prices by increasing supply, noting that wholesale electricity prices in Victoria had dropped from $233 per megawatt hour in May 2022 to $77. He criticized the previous government for closing coal plants without replacement and highlighted that 4 gigawatts of renewables and 1.2 gigawatts of storage had been added in Victoria since May 2022. He also noted that over 139,000 Australians had installed home batteries.
