Almost a million NSW households are now benefiting from state government energy rebates.
To be eligible for the 2014-2015 NSW FER, you must:
Be a NSW resident;
Have been assessed by the DHS as being eligible for the Family Tax Benefit (FTB) A or B during the last financial year, and have received a FTB payment; and
Be an account holder of an electricity retailer or a long-term resident of a residential community (caravan or mobile home park) whose name appears on the electricity account for supply to his or her principal place of residence.
“The NSW Liberals and Nationals Government is determined to ease cost of living pressures for households and we’re delivering through our reforms in the energy sector,” said the state member for Campbelltown, Mr Bryan Doyle.
“The Family Energy Rebate (FER) increased from $125 to $150 this financial year,’’ he said.
“The NSW Government committed $228 million this financial year to ease energy costs for households through our rebates and I’m pleased to see more households taking advantage of the rebate.’’
Almost a million NSW households are now paying for state government energy rebates, as well as quite a bit extra for the bureaucrats.
We should go out for a drink sometime Eric. You to give $10, and make you fill out a whole lot of paperwork, and I’ll bring you back a $4 beer and no change.
But if you don’t fill out the paperwork, I’ll still take the $10.
The government easing the cost of living is like eating KFC to lose weight, except KFC is less greasy.
