The Daily Telegraph reports that taxpayers pay over $110,000 annually for electricity at the Prime Minister's two official residences, the Lodge and Kirribilli House, despite analysis showing the department could save at least $10,000 by switching energy providers. The Prime Minister's office was warned about potential savings by AGL in 2023 but failed to act on the offer.
