Mr President, I have a further supplementary question. Clearly it is all existing money. I ask the minister: what will the workers who have lost their jobs through the termination of the insulation program be doing between now and the start of the new program? Can the minister guarantee that the Labor government’s hastily prepared $41.2 million will recompense 100 per cent of the wages of affected workers? When will money provided under the $41.2 million package begin to flow and cease to flow?
