Peter Garrett Insulation Program
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has condemned the Prime Minister for failing to sack Peter Garrett over the Government’s botched home insulation program.
Mr Abbott moved to censure Kevin Rudd in Parliament today after the Opposition bombarded Mr Garrett with questions over whether he acted adequately on safety concerns.
The insulation can become electrified if installed incorrectly and four deaths have been linked to the program.
“This minister must go,” Mr Abbott said.
“This is about the deaths of four young Australians flowing from the maladministration of this portfolio from this incompetent Minister.
“And he thinks none of this is his fault. Mr Speaker, if he was a company director in New South Wales he would be charged with industrial manslaughter. That is the truth.”
Mr Garrett has blamed contractors for failing to follow safety standards put in place by the Government.
