The Queensland government, led by Premier Steven Miles, has announced a significant initiative to alleviate household energy costs across the state. Starting from July 1, every household in Queensland will receive a $1,000 credit on their power bills. This measure is part of a broader $2.5 billion energy bill relief program. The rebate will be applied directly to electricity bills and is structured as a lump sum credit, allowing many Queenslanders to have no electricity bill payments until 2025. This initiative, described by Premier Miles as the 'biggest contribution a state has ever made' to household energy costs, comes at a time when the Labor party faces challenging polling numbers ahead of the upcoming Queensland election.
