              “the Victorian Government anticipates total revenue for the general government sector for 2021-22 to come in at $81.9 billion”

              And:

              https://amp.theage.com.au/national/victoria/victorias-intere…

              Same year debt was $3.2 billion.

              It’s about 4%, not 1/4. I mean, not great, but they’re building infrastructure and buying whitegoods with it, so could be worse.

                OP didn't say debt was 25% or revenue, he said the repayment of debt is 25%.

                I have no idea if this is true or false, just pointing out that these are different things.

                'taxes' and 'total revenue' are also different…

                  Yes, you may only be off by a factor of three instead of six if we suddenly pretend it’s ten years in the future… except that’s assuming the ratio remains the same, which means you’re still off by a factor of six. I know it’s hard to read but you already found the article and sentence, surely another six words couldn’t have been that burdensome to manage your way through after all that.

                  And in my reply I said ‘debt’, meant to say ‘debt repayment’.

            @FlipperMeTimbers: While i agree train lines are better, i don't agree with the comment that if it's being spent on people's personal things its bad. Although personal, the money is being spent on reducing carbon footprint which in turn reduces climate change for everyone. Same logic as rebates on solar panels and EV vehicles which are personal items but have govt rebates associated with them.

          Don't do the shower heads they are so cheap and nasty they will be lucky to last 12 months before your replacing them or taking them apart replacing seals.

          The power pal was good under the VEU program shows your power usage.

          The air gapping for shower fans also good but the door jam seals are rubbish. The companies might install the seal but your door could still not be air tight. Far better to do it yourself and adjust your door latch at same time make sure door shuts properly.

          Most of the companies running VEU programs will spam you afterwards with constant phone calls too about other upgrades.

    • MadInstro on 01/08/2023 - 18:59

      It's not too bad depending on what you're replacing. If you've got:

      Removing an inefficient electric water heater, upgrade and get the following rebates:
      Electric boosted solar water heater $1,320
      Heat pump water heater $900

      Removing an inefficient gas water heater:
      Heat pump water heater $420
      Efficient electric boosted solar water heater $540

      Remove Ducted (whole-of-home) gas heater:
      Multiple split-systems recommended. Four split systems installed in total (estimate): $1,800 to $1,900

      Removing Hard-wired resistance electric room heater (3kW-9kW): $1,000 to $1,200

      https://www.energy.vic.gov.au/for-households/victorian-energ…

      • nicolascage on 01/08/2023 - 22:31

        The one's you've listed sound decent.

        Why are multiple split systems better? I'm not aware of current ducted heating tech but shouldn't we be at a stage where we can heat specific rooms and save power?

        • 811b11e8 on 02/08/2023 - 08:46
          +6

          The ducts are really inefficient. The ducts themselves are rarely insulated well and the vents mean your constantly leaking warm air out if the heater is not blowing. So you end up using the heater a lot more.

          Good ducted heating has an effiencing of 80%. A split system has an effiencing of about 200-450%.

          The heat pump technology in split systems is basically magic.

                      From the guide on if the device are compliant with As/NZ 4755 https://www.qld.gov.au/housing/home-modifications-energy-sav…

                      Can't find anything under 4kw

                        @AuQld: It says that list is a "guide only" though.

                          @wombat81: Power distribution isn't interested in pinging 2kw units just the big ones. Why make a 2kw, AS/NZ 4755 compliant Ergon/Energex won't switch it or offer a rebate for it. The list has 1000s of Aircons all 4kw+. Can't find anything compliant 2-4kw online. Remember it needs to be 4*+ rated also.

                            @AuQld: But surely any air con that is DRED compliant is also AS/NZ 4755 compliant? There are many DRED complaint a/c's under 4kw and 4 star.

                            • AuQld on 06/09/2023 - 14:38

                              @wombat81: It's not DRED compliance, it's AS/NZ 4755 compliance which is needed to apply for the rebate. If you find one that is DRED compliant under 4kw, you can go down the route of applying and paying for the AS/NZ accreditation, yearly fees etc if it's a benefit to you for the rebate but its obviously not worth it for the manufacturers as theres no market for them.

                              They could have made it for all 4* rated Aircons but they obviously don't want to be paying for half of the cost of a 2/2.5kw unit when there isn't much benefit.

                                @AuQld: But are DRED compliance and AS/NZ 4755 compliance not the same thing?

                                • AuQld on 06/09/2023 - 19:40

                                  @wombat81: No, Room Air-conditioners conforming to the Australian Standard for DRED (Demand Response Enabling Devices) are the ones that are AS/NZ 4755 complaint.

                                  So no, DRED and the Australian standard for DRED are not the same thing.

                                    @AuQld: Ok. Thanks for the info

                                    @AuQld: FYI Panasonic are telling me that they have compliant 3.5kw models. I haven't checked star ratings of those models.

                                    Hi xxxx,

                                    Thank you for contacting Panasonic Australia.

                                    Our current models CU-RZ35XKR, CU-Z35XKR & CU-HZ35YKR do meet AS/NZS 4755.1:2017 (Demand response capabilities) for 3.5 kw range.

                                    Hope this helps.

                                    Regards,

                                    Eduard Anthony De Asis

                                      @wombat81: I could find any with Mitsubishi, 3.5kw is still a bit big for a standard bedroom, kinda defeats the purpose of energy efficiency lol. I'll have a look at the price thanks.

                                      They also state that they do meet the standard but not that they are certified, kinda being a bit obscure there I would check it on the lists before I buy it or get confirmation from the Qld government
