Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given the minister will not deny that he told departmental officials to speed things up, why did the Rudd government ignore the recommendation in the Minter Ellison risk assessment that the implementation of the Home Insulation Program should be delayed by three months? Does the minister agree that accepting this advice could have helped to protect lives, homes, jobs and businesses?
