Renew Economy: The new Parliament can secure a sustainable future for Australian homes. Here’s how. 

At the recent federal election, Australians firmly endorsed ambitious change for a renewable future. The climate wars may not yet be over, but a historic Government majority in the House and the potential for a progressive majority in the Senate should mean strong action on climate and energy. 

The Albanese Government’s first term focused on turning the behemoth that is industrial scale energy infrastructure away from coal and towards renewables.

Now, in its second term, the Government must pay closer attention to the role homes and everyday Australians can play in the energy transition – including, but beyond, the easy stuff like installing solar and batteries. 

The Justice and Equity Centre, alongside a coalition of over 60 community, climate, industry and built environment organisations, has done the heavy lifting.

Our detailed roadmap guides the way for Australia to benefit from efficient and electric homes, delivered in time to achieve the emission reductions we need while bringing all Australians along on the journey, not just those who can afford it.
