Thank you, Mr President. This means jobs. It also has the multiplier effect in supporting logistics. It has a flow-on effect to the transport sector. It is supporting jobs there. For building services, it is supporting jobs there. These are jobs that obviously Liberal Party senators could not give a damn about. As I said, over 6,000 firms have been registered with the Department of Environment and Heritage to install insulation. That is a huge number—over 6,000. We have installed batts in over 270,000 homes. There is a detailed auditing program in place to ensure that the work is done in accordance with the guidelines. (Time expired)
