Mark Arbib (NSW, Australian Labor Party, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Government Service Delivery) Share this | Hansard source

As I have said, the minister has written to homeowners. There is also a process in place for complaints and, if a complaint against an installer is proved correct, that installer risks being taken out of the program. That means that they will no longer be able to install insulation and receive a government rebate. That is the greatest sanction that this government has against so-called rorting and the greatest sanction that we have against commercial practices that we do not want to see. They will be booted out of the program. That is what the minister is undertaking and that is what the government is undertaking. I note that the good senator did not mention the effects of the program on employment in his three questions because, in the end, they could not care less about the jobs that this program is creating. They could not care less about the small businesses that this program is supporting. (Time expired)
