Greens call for more energy efficiency in public housing

I wonder if the Greens would be interested in the lack of efficiency at a particular public housing flats, most of us have to run the GAS hot water and wait while it heats up, eg: 6 litres of water and the cost to us, the flat downstairs often goes cold while they are having a shower, and stays that way.
The billing system by AGL GAS has been appalling, the meters have past their use by date, and it is causing billing problems, this has been going on for at least a year now.
Our meters are in the store room, which there is no access for the readings, so therefore it’s all guess work, the only way they calculate is, one main meter for 6 flats, and divide it up, even then it doesn’t work as someone in the building has not received a bill for gas for 18 months, just supply he’s been charged for, so therefore we really don’t know what is going to happen, we have had a second meeting with the tribunal, and AGLGAS bigwigs and two housing managers, who have NO weight whatsoever, I really don’t think housing are taking this seriously, well why should they? It’s not costing them anything, just us poor tenants, now AGLGAS are talking about putting the meters outside our door, why doesn’t housing just make it all electric, no problems there. PISSED OFF!

Public Housing??
Where you can wait years to have repairs done?
Worried about energy efficiency? Now??

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it…

Yes a lot of public housing are lacking in these areas, we seem to pay more for inefficient heating, eg: water and heating the homes.

Energy efficiency programs are a good idea and an effective and equitable way to reduce carbon emissions. However, the Greens don’t believe in cost efficient energy given they support feed-in tariffs for solar micro-generators, an ineffective and inequitable way to reduce CO2.
