The ETU categorically refutes the Herald Sun's pathetic allegations; this is gutter journalism at its worst. ETU members across Victoria have worked night and day to restore power to our state. Work crews across the network were available to respond to outages.

Alongside all first responders, ETU lineworkers have a proud tradition of always standing ready to respond to a crisis. They always have, and they always will.

We look forward to working with the Allan Government on practical and straightforward improvements to the practice and the future of the harvest. We thank the tens of thousands of Victorians who joined the campaign.

Our path to cheaper, cleaner energy is electrification. Today's announcement from @LilyDAmbrosioMP will save households money and reduce our emissions. Victoria is leading the way in electrifying the nation.

Comrade Bob was a true champion of the working class, fierce in his advocacy for those in our society who have no voice. His speech to workers at the CUB picket in 2016 about the brotherhood of man winning against corporate greed was priceless. Vale Father Bob.

ETU members at the Spotswood UGL Rail Maintenance Facility supporting Bringing Back the SEC. Government-owned renewable energy, secure, stable jobs, and guaranteed apprenticeships, all while driving down power prices. It's time to bring back the SEC.

Down in the Valley where @DanielAndrewsMP announced that a re-elected Labor government would not only re-establish the SEC but also put it in the Victorian Constitution. Making it harder for the Libs to flog it off - Bloody Good Thing.

Jim. Electrical worker. Big fan of the Vic Gov policy to revive the SEC. Power back into the hands of Victorians - power stations not for profit, for citizens! @ETUVIC

The privatisation of Victoria's energy assets cost jobs, destroyed communities and sent billions overseas. It's time to bring back the SEC.

For the proud SEC workers who built and maintained our energy system - it's about more than just electricity. It's about opportunity for workers, families and communities. And that's what we'll bring back - power for Victorians, by Victorians.

Bringing Back the SEC

Government-owned renewable energy

Provide training and pathways supporting Victorians to get into renewable energy jobs. All while beginning to rectify one of the biggest mistakes in Victoria's history - Kennett's privatisation of the power industry.

We can't wait to revive the SEC, and we can't tell you how excited we are to see this classic back on workshirts.

Victoria's Power assets should never have been privatised, workers lost jobs, the power grid has been left to decay, and corporations have made billions.

Today @DanielAndrewsMP announced that if re-elected, a Labor government will bring back the SEC, invest in public renewables and lower power prices.

And we reckon this a fantastic idea. Good for workers, Good for families and Good for our environment. Thanks to the fantastic leadership of @LilyDAmbrosioMP. We can't wait to get on and work with a re-elected Andrew's government to build a renewable future for all Victorians.
