My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, Senator Wong. I refer the minister to the decision last week by the government to end the $8,000 solar rebates early. Will the minister inform the Senate whether Minister Garrett was deliberately misleading the Australian people or was simply being kept in the dark by those who actually run the government when he told the ABC’s PM program on 17 December last year that the rebate and the means test would be phased out after 1 July?
