I wouldn’t really know. I just know there’s some kind of issue with that.

And regardless it’s true that it’d be a waste of resources to duplicate a “margin-for-error” on every single house to ensure the fridge keeps running all year round.

Rooftop solar causes some issues for the grid and especially with every person getting their own battery it’s not very efficient.

On rural properties it would make sense to mandate them, but it would also be political suicide.

Bakers Delight donated to them.

Probably more companies to, but Bakers Delight has been the most inconvenient. I haven’t been able to find good bread anywhere else (or indeed, even at Bakers Delight these days).

Regional seats often held for or swung to the LNP. The election results aren’t as much of a glowing endorsement for renewables as you suggest. Still, it is rich for that statement to be coming from the Nationals, considering that their long history of lies about renewables are partly to blame for the loss of their social license.

New developments are always gonna be luxury. That’s how it works. The rich live in the new buildings, and the poor in the older and more run-down buildings. Building new luxury housing means that less luxury housing will be freed up.

What I really hate are house flippers. They take an old house, make it fancy, and sell it at a markup where otherwise it would be affordable housing. We need a higher quantity of housing first and foremost, quality comes second.

Problem with that is that it would shift the overton window.
