Australians get it. They realise that renewable energy is the cheapest form of energy. That has been backed in by record uptake of home batteries. On 1 July, we announced our Cheaper Home Batteries Program. We've already seen 100,000 households take up home batteries. When you have rooftop solar, you reduce your bills by $1,500. If you slap a home battery on that, your bills come down another $1,000. Australians get it.
