Assertion misses the point: Most Australians whose homes need to be made more energy efficient, are renting

I think the 66% still out number the 30% when it comes to needing to be made more energy efficient, most people even who own their own homes don't have solar batteries, induction cooktops, heat pump hot water etc

As of recent data, approximately 66% of Australian households own their homes, either outright or with a mortgage

The rental market has seen an increase, with about 30.6% of households living in rental properties as of the latest census data2
