My question is to the Prime Minister and it relates to the 106 house fires that have been linked to his disastrous home insulation scheme. I draw the Prime Minister’s attention to comments yesterday from the head of the fire investigation unit within the Victorian fire brigade, who said:

It is a ticking time bomb, and the only way we’ll defuse it is … to get … up in the ceiling space, check everything’s OK and is safe.

Given this direct warning, will the Prime Minister finally commit to inspecting all of the 1.1 million homes that are at risk as a result of his disastrous home insulation scheme?
