HARDSHIP UTILITY
GRANT SCHEME — ALINTA
339. Hon ED DERMER to the Minister for Community
Services:
My question was directed to the Minister for Energy
originally, but I understand that it has been referred to the Minister for
Community Services.
(1) What
mechanism does the minister have in place to monitor the number of requests for
hardship utility grant scheme assistance received and referred on by Alinta?
(2) If no
mechanism is in place, why not; and, will the minister commit to establishing
such a monitoring mechanism?
