I refer the minister to advice received that a Western Australian installer paid $6,000 for 100 packs of 20 insulation batts last month. This month he paid $5,240 for 50 packs of 10 batts. That is a price hike of four times the cost of the original unit—costs that are being passed on to the Australian taxpayer. Will the minister explain to the house how a quadrupling of the pink batts price represents value for money?
