My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister inform the House how many homeowners like Mr Daniel Gouveia, from Bexley in Sydney, have had paper insulation installed in their roofs under the government’s home insulation scheme? Is the Prime Minister aware that homeowners, such as Mr Gouveia, with paper insulation have been told by the government hotline they are not eligible for a safety inspection? Given the New South Wales Fire Commissioner has confirmed there have been 70 house fires in the last year caused by insulation, will the Prime Minister now provide free safety inspections to each of the 1.1 million homes which have had insulation, including paper insulation, installed under the government’s home insulation scheme?
