My question is to the Prime Minister. Why won’t the Prime Minister reverse the decision to abolish the solar rebate program beyond June 2007? Prime Minister, aren’t the Australians protesting against the abolition of the solar rebate through the Channel 7 Sunrise program’s ‘Cool the Globe’ campaign right?
John Howard Bennelong, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
The changes that were made to that program were designed to make it available, albeit in a lesser amount, to more people.
