LATEST: Energy relief package passes parliament

The federal government’s energy relief legislation has just passed parliament.

It will see the price of gas capped for a year, with the aim of slowing the speed of rising household bills.

Labor managed to get its bill through with the help of the Greens and two Independents.

Greens leader Adam Bandt has told Tom Elliott it’s important legislation that will lead to long-term energy reform.
