My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Wong. The government claims its proposed Energy Efficient Homes program will reduce cumulative greenhouse emissions by up to 49.4 million tonnes by 2020. What is the government’s estimate of the carbon dioxide that will be emitted in the manufacture and distribution of the insulation required for the 2.2 million homes targeted under the government’s program?
