Good that you put that in quotes, because of course they don't really. They are crony capitalists at best. They killed a decent free-market approach to climate change (Emissions Trading Scheme) in favour of more subsidies (Renewable Energy Target).

It breaks my heart when i drive past them. Ugly boxes with no attempt to match the environment. They fill up the whole block almost, leaving hardly any space for a garden. No verandahs, tiny eaves, small windows, hardly any trees. Horrible things.

Me, I like to have room inside my house where it's nice and air conditioned. Or are you saying people should just be rich and be able to afford nice big houses on even bigger blocks of land (but still within a reasonable commute time of the city)?
