Am I crazy or despite writing a fucking novel, the only actual way they say it could help people who will never take it up is because peak load demand will be reduced a little bit?
Labor's home batteries policy could help people who will never take it up. Here's how | Adam Morton

It needs to be mandated that if you own a rental, it will have a battery and solar setup of a minimum size.
Otherwise renters are a key demographic that will miss out on this.

Fuck all these policies and incentives that exclude renters

As others have said, would be good to have it mandatory for investment properties (with less subsidy). But still not a bad thing to have it for property owners too. Every bit is needed… A better solution to rectify the rental situation is eliminate negative gearing.
That being said, I own my property and really looking forward to these changes. Home batteries were something I was considering (but was waiting for a rebate). I was also looking at new insulation too, as my neighbors have been f**king loud and there are too many dickheads on dirt bikes illegally traveling down my road (and wanted to reduce the noise in my house)
So, happy with these changes. If Greens can match them, I’ll be super happy with voting for them.

No way in hell they would ever make it mandatory for rentals. They’ve barely made smoke detectors mandatory for rentals. Removing negative gearing won’t help. It will make rentals more expensive.
