Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced a $175 rebate on electricity bills in recognition of cost of living increases for the state’s residents.

The measure is expected to cost $385million on the state’s bottom line.

Ms Palaszczuk announced the rebate to the Queensland Parliament on Thursday morning.

Deputy Premier Steven Miles claimed the rebate had been made possible because the state had not sold off its electricity assets.
