Green Deal - new jobs insulating 3.5 million homes.

It won't. What do you expect when the State is in charge?

Yebbutt... everybody knows Australia doesn't need insulating. Are telling me Neighbours lied to me?

I'm guessing standard Oz roofs are sheet aluminium or something, and a scattergun approach to nailing.

You do down here - it doesn't get that cold compared with the UK but most 'houses' are bungalows so the roof losses are significant. And it stops the heat radiating down during the summer when loft spaces get seriously hot.

No, foil-faced insulation stapled into cables by untrained teenagers.
