Vic: New power restrictions as temperature soars
Victorians have been hit with more power restrictions today, less than a day after
the bans were lifted.
The state government snapped on the bans after receiving news last night that temperatures
would soar towards 40 degrees.
Premier STEVE BRACKS blames an unusual rise in today's predicted maximums across the
eastern seaboard for the new restrictions, which may continue tomorrow and possibly next
week.
The power restrictions apply from 1pm to 7pm today and again tomorrow, though they'll
be reviewed at 10am with a cool change forecast.
