My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to widowed disability pensioner Jenny Anderson of Cordalba, who had insulation installed in September last year and was left with foil hanging out of her ceiling. When she rang the government hotline she was informed that the installers had not lodged her details and, as a result, the work could not be assessed. Prime Minister, how long does Jenny Anderson have to wait to have a safety inspection in her roof? Will she be given priority?

I thank the honourable member for Pearce for her question. I know the honourable member well and I have not known her to exaggerate facts in the past; therefore, I take what she said at face value. As she describes it, that situation is unacceptable and the government through the relevant minister will attend to it.
