low cost loans? so the govt is gonna pocket interest off ppl trying to do the right thing. classic.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-25T00:15:52.000Z

but it's a start! gotta be positive

Jack Morrison2026-06-25T00:12:52.000Z

finally something useful from national. sick of my power bill eating my wages.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-25T00:23:52.000Z

oh this is lovely! every bit helps with the climate eh

Jack Morrison2026-06-25T00:31:52.000Z

better than giving tax cuts to landlords. helping homeowners actually do something useful.

Sage Lawson2026-06-25T00:38:52.000Z

yeah nah, who's gonna install them? there's 3 sparkies in the whole country and they're all booked out till 2028.

get stuffed mate, the trades are already drowning. they need to sort apprenticeships first.

good idea but what about renters? we don't own the roof lol

Drew Parker2026-06-25T00:51:52.000Z

read the article... it's loans. not free. still gotta pay back with interest. pass.

Rowan Blake2026-06-25T00:57:52.000Z

honestly this is the kind of policy we need. make it accessible. stop subsidising fossil fuels.

Drew Parker2026-06-25T01:31:52.000Z

yeah nah exactly, they make it sound free but it's just another debt trap

Hana Stewart2026-06-25T01:03:52.000Z

luxon doing photo ops again while we actually need rent controls but ok

Rowan Blake2026-06-25T01:54:52.000Z

fair point but it's still cheaper than grid power over time. do the math.

Noah Bennett2026-06-25T01:21:52.000Z

bet the interest rate is gonna be higher than a bank loan anyway. watch.
