Sharman Stone (Murray, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Early Childhood Education and Childcare) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts. I refer to Cohuna Hardware, which serve my electorate and which have struggled to stay afloat during seven years of drought. They decided to participate in the home insulation installation program. They complied with all of the requirements of the scheme and were underway with the work when the program was scrapped last Friday. Will the minister now guarantee compensation for such small businesses who, through no fault of their own, are seriously out of pocket as a result of the gross maladministration of this program?
