"Back in 2003, when the Howard/liberal govt were in power, halogen downlights started proliferating. It was APPARENT to government authorities that they were a fire risk & consumed a high amount of energy.
The fire risk of halogen downlights is obvious to anyone who bothers to look closely at them. They get incredibly hot (over 300 degrees) and are often installed in a cramped roof space close to materials that can catch fire.
Thousands of homes that were fitted with halogen downlights were death traps (some still are), with hundreds of fires directly caused by the fashionable lights igniting roofing insulation.
Yet why hasn’t been a great media outrage that the government just stood by and knowingly let people’s house burn down and their energy bills escalate!!??"
FAR more dangerous than batts-the home insulation scheme was a great idea, the only MADNESS was that it was demonised & destroyed by the ritards.
