The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

The Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency received 15,468 claims for insulation installed under the Home Insulation Program (HIP) in the postcodes which fall within, or partly within, the electorates of Capricornia and Dawson.

The table below provides a breakdown, by postcode, of the installations in postcodes which fall within, or partly within, Capricornia and Dawson and the number of foil installations in those postcodes.

* Postcodes may be split across two or more electorates.

The table below lists insulation installer businesses registered under the HIP that installed foil insulation in the postcodes which fall within, or partly within, the electorates of Capricornia and/or Dawson.

Details on the number of homes each installer business worked on have not been provided as this is considered to be commercial in confidence information.
