Labor’s energy bill relief had an ‘enormous impact on lower prices’

Assistant Trade and Manufacturing Minister Tim Ayres says the government’s energy bill relief package had an “enormous impact on lower prices” for families and small businesses. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has hinted at further energy bill relief in the budget. “As the Prime Minister just said, that had an economy wide impact in terms of keeping inflation down,” Mr Ayres told Sky News Australia. “We are absolutely focused on these cost-of-living issues as we head towards the budget. “I think the Prime Minister’s given an indication of his approach on these questions.”
