Calls grow for Labor’s $300 energy bill rebate to be means-tested

Australian rich-listers are criticising the Albanese government’s $300 energy bill rebate.
The rebate was announced in Tuesday night’s budget in a bid to help all Australians with energy prices.
However, calls are growing for the scheme to be means-tested to ensure the money only goes to households in need of support.

    How bout stopping the power companies from gouging rather than a tax payer funded rebate.

    Well people on here don't know a thing about that, so it doesn't bother them. The WHO Treaty is another one too.

    So they stole $1000’s of my money when they lied on Stage 3, and now billionaires are saying I shouldn’t get $300 of my own money back.

    More than A$300,000,000 will be wasted on: 1. Foreign real estate investors 2. More than 2.2 million temporary visa holders with working rights 3. 600,000 tourists Government must not spend our money on foreigners. Wasteful mediocre and incompetent is my verdict re Labor. ✈💶💷💸💴💵💶💷💸💵💶💷💸💵💸💴💶

    ​@MrBigMatt123 Yeah but the $300 still comes off his bill. You can make a donation without the song and dance.

    Every states has delivered the electric bills package so I don’t think Federal gov needs to do the same. Put more money into Rent fee relief package for low and medium income families and small businesses might more make sense. Also put more money relief to all our farmers for their cost of production and transportation more make sense too. 😌

    They don't care about if it's good or bad . Sky News would gladly have the struggling eating dog food in the dark if that means Liberals win every election moving forward
