I refer to the minister’s answer yesterday, when he excused himself from the responsibility of raising safety concerns regarding the rollout of the rushed and failed Home Insulation Program with the Prime Minister on the grounds that at the time he was only the parliamentary secretary and not a minister. Given that his responsibilities as parliamentary secretary also included the Home Insulation Program, does he still maintain that he had no responsibility to inform the Prime Minister about the safety issues with the program, either as parliamentary secretary or as a minister?
