Southern Metropolitan Region

David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:51): (734) The Minister for Energy and Resources is, at least in part, responsible for grants for those whose energy went off a few weeks ago – 530,000 households in Victoria and many of them in my electorate of Southern Metropolitan. Those in Southern Metro are in the municipalities of Monash, Glen Eira, Bayside, Boroondara and Whitehorse and a little bit of the City of Melbourne, Port Phillip and Kingston. What I would seek for the minister to do is to release the numbers of outages in those municipalities that occurred and the length of time that those outages occurred for. But what would also be useful in that process is to release the grants and support that have been provided to each of the municipalities and those who are connected in the municipalities.
