Mr Speaker, my question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the latest victim injured through the government’s home insulation scheme, 80-year-old Melbourne grandmother Edith Preston, who was forced to defend her burning home with buckets of water. This brings the total number of house fires caused by this failed program to 146. I ask: why does criticism of the Prime Minister justify a $38 million advertising campaign when a home insulation scheme linked to the deaths of four Australians, 146 house fires and countless dodgy insulations does not?
