    if they made their homes more energy efficient

    Assertion misses the point: Most Australians whose homes need to be made more energy efficient, are renting and have no agency in doing anything like that to their homes.

    Telling those people "you could save on your power bill by modifications to your home”, is just cruel. We know our homes are energy inefficient, we can’t make the changes required.

    What’s needed is legislation that mandates the landlord must pay for those improvements, before they take any more money from the renter.
