How is the Henderson government helping Territorians to be energy smart?

ANSWER

Madam Speaker, I thank the member for her question. It is great to see some young Territorians in the House today for Question Time, and particularly listening to the great initiatives of the Henderson government when it comes to climate change and the environment.

I am sure they would be interested to know that, through the Energy Smart Rebate NT scheme, the Henderson government is showing real leadership and is giving all Territorians a chance to do their bit by using less power, by saving money, and by helping to respond to climate change.

Territorians can get up to 50% off the purchase price of energy smart appliances up to the value of $200. What appliances are eligible for the rebate? I can inform the House that appliances such as energy efficient light bulbs, timers, fridge seals and power meters are all available under this rebate scheme. Rebates are being taken up. Over the coming months, I will be telling Territorians more about this scheme. It is practical, inexpensive, and it is a way we can all do our bit for the environment.
