Agreed, I’ve said this a lot. The builds are wasteful in that way

Building houses that are properly insulated would help far more since people would have to use heating and cooling much less often, yet that doesn’t seem to be a thing that builders are actually doing. I’m living in California in a house built in the 1960s and it’s better insulated than an Aussie house built in the 2010s.
In any case, updating food packaging to include an environmental score isn’t a bad idea. Hopefully it’d work out better than the health score, which is still entirely voluntary and doesn’t always make sense.

Next thing you’re gonna be telling us is to bring back public servant building surveyors as the only building surveyors, to stop the conflict of interest that the builder paying the inspector directly causes.
Bloody madness, clearly the private market is more efficient /s
Our housing regs are a joke since they’re not even well supervised
