I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question. The government regrets very much the information concerning that most recent incident in Melbourne. Furthermore, the government has acknowledged on many occasions that there have been mistakes made in the implementation of the insulation program. That is why the relevant minister is now conducting an extensive inspection program across both foil insulation and a large number of houses with non-foil insulation. The government intends to work closely with the industry and households in dealing with the problems that have arisen.
