SOME insulation, can reduce energy costs in SOME homes. As kids, we lived in a non-insulated, non-air conditioned home with several kids in each bedroom. Care to elaborate how insulation would have reduced our energy costs. What you and the government fail to realize is that every home is different.
A personal anecdote with a sample of 1. Proves any argument!
Tell that to the families that lost homes..."Your home was expendable! Too bad, so sad!"
Nope, anything you do in life carries risk, including things mean to improve your life. You need to manage that risk, not stop doing it if in a small amount of cases things go wrong. Maybe the government to get out of the business of building roads too.
Why don't you put some facts out rather than rehashing
PR garbage
So a carefully researched independent* article full of data from CSIRO is "
PR garbage"?
* Read Crikey; they are critical of BS no matter which party sprouts it.
What was the reporting process prior to regulation?
You didn't actually read the article, did you? Same as before: firies show up to put out the fire, investigate the cause and put a tick in the "dodgy insulation" box.
