Home Insulation Program

Mr Fletcher asked the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, in writing, on 2 November 2011:

In respect of his responses to questions in writing Nos 494 to 497 (House Hansard, 31 October 2011, pages 219 to 220), will he or his department provide information on the outcome of investigations into specific complaints in relation to the Home Insulation Program once those investigations are complete.

Mr Combet: The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows:

As per the honourable member’s question, general information may be released following the conclusion of investigations; however, procedural fairness and natural justice will take precedence. For example, information that may disadvantage an innocent party would not be released.

As such, the release of any information relating to the finalisation of investigations will be made on a case-by-case basis.
