I am not sure I can provide much information today about assessors other than the information about the number of assessments that I have provided to the chamber. I will certainly seek advice from Minister Garrett and see if I can provide any further information. I think Senator Milne had previously asked me about delays in the assessment reports and there have been some issues about the software program used for the calculator. These were identified during the trial green loans rollout. There were changes made to the operation of the calculator, including the reporting function. These problems, I am advised, were fixed by mid-August and most assessments reports prepared in July, August, September and October have been sent out. I am also advised that the problems with the tools have not prevented any households from having home assessments undertaken by assessors. (Time expired)
