STATEMENT FROM THE HON LILY D'AMBROSIO MP

[Lily D'Ambrosio MP @LilyDAmbrosioMP]

I have the privilege to know Helen Haines through my work in environment & energy. A first class representative of her community she has always conducted herself with integrity and intelligence. A wicked act occurred today.
My thoughts are for her family and hope for her recovery

Why would you rip up a plan that is keeping prices down and replace it with one that will make Victorian households pay more?

[Lily D'Ambrosio MP @LilyDAmbrosioMP]

Liberal plan to deliver power price pain

The Liberals energy plan will destroy investment in renewables - the cheapest form of electricity – and replace it with gas-powered electricity generation - the most expensive.

[Lily D'Ambrosio MP @LilyDAmbrosioMP]

We know what happens when the Liberals turn their backs on renewables. Last time they were in government, power prices increased by 34% in just four years.

Our kids deserve to be safe online. It’s why we’re making it easier for families to hold Big Tech companies to account - and making sure people who spread hate can’t hide behind anonymous accounts.

[Jacinta Allan @JacintaAllanMP]

Work from home is a game-changer for Victorian families like Felicity and Sam's.

It gives parents flexibility, opportunities to come back to work - and more time with their family.

Today I announced an Australian-
first in the Latrobe Valley: a compressed air battery that lasts up to three times longer than lithium ion to help drive down power prices, keep the lights on and create secure local jobs.

[Lily D'Ambrosio MP @LilyDAmbrosioMP]

They have no real plan to keep the lights on or lower prices. They want nuclear power which takes decades to build and is the most expensive form of energy.

Victorian’s can’t afford that.

[Jacinta Allan @JacintaAllanMP]

We're changing the rules so energy companies can't you rip off.

Why are Jess Wilson’s Libs asking the same questions on hourly rotation simply to stall this integrity bill in the leg council? #springst

This morning there are around 700 customers off supply in Melbourne CBD, down from 10,000 yesterday afternoon. These customers are expected to be reconnected by this afternoon.

[Lily D'Ambrosio MP @LilyDAmbrosioMP]

Citipower and Powercor crews have been working through the night to restore power and repair damage to the substation on Little Collins Street as quickly and safely as possible.

[Lily D'Ambrosio MP @LilyDAmbrosioMP]

While outage numbers will reduce as supply is redirected, full restoration can only occur once the site is safe for crews to access.

Update on CBD power outages
A burst water main has caused flooding at a zone substation in the CBD, resulting in power outages across central Melbourne.

[Lily D'Ambrosio MP @LilyDAmbrosioMP]

CitiPower have re-routed customers and facilities where possible to minimise outages, reducing the peak from about 10,000 to 5,000.
Outage numbers are expected to continue to decrease as switching occurs.
