I am aware of some comments which have been reported to which I believe the senator is referring. I would make the point that the comments reported were obviously only in part. The secretary did make a decision in the circumstances, given the significance of these changes, that it was appropriate to have a meeting in which the departmental staff were addressed about how these issues would be managed. Obviously we recognise there are not only significant implementation challenges associated with the Renewable Energy Bonus Scheme and legacy issues associated with the Home Insulation Program but issues with a range of other programs. We will work assiduously and responsibly and carefully to address those. (Time expired)
