Liberal Senator Judith Adams has called on Environment Minister Peter Garrett to advise him how many homes in the electorate of Hasluck are at risk because of his failed Home Insulation Program.
“I wrote to Mr Garrett yesterday seeking detail of the number of homes affected by his dangerous scheme, so I can offer support to people and families affected,” Senator Adams said.
“I encourage people to make contact with the hotline to find out whether they are at risk and what precautionary steps they should take.”
“The bottom line is that people who have had this work done should stay out of their roofs until they get the all clear,” said Senator Adams.
“This is a very serious issue involving public safety and Mr Garrett must be prepared to let our local community know just how many homes, people and families are at risk.
“These are all the i’s and t’s that should have been dotted and crossed before this deadly scheme was allowed to go public. The Rudd Government was more focused on spending money to attract votes than ensuring public safety with this scheme.
“Like so many aspects of their stimulus package, it was rushed and bungled. Tragically, four young Australians have paid for this mismanagement with their lives,” Senator Adams said.
