Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I will not waste the time of the Senate by posing the initial question that the minister failed to answer again. Given the minister’s statements yesterday and on Tuesday that his role at these regular meetings with officials was ‘to ensure the rollout was proceeding smoothly and on time’, did the minister or his office ever suggest to departmental officials that the implementation of the insulation program be sped up, or stress that there could be no delays to the implementation of this program?
