As the Member would be aware, as a result of the inaction of the previous Labor Government and the botched break-up of Western Power, the Government was forced to make the tough decision to significantly increase electricity prices over the last two years. In addition, in recognition of the increasing cost of sourcing and supplying water, the Government has also supported the ERA's recommendation to increase water consumption charges while reducing the fixed water supply charge. The Government recognises that that these tough decisions have increased the cost of household bills and caused hardship for some. To help those in need the Government has introduced the Seniors Cost of Living Rebate and also significantly increased funding for rebates and hardship assistance measures. .
