Peter Garrett tells royal commission he was responsible for batts rollout
The Brisbane inquiry also heard Mr Garrett wasn’t warned about insulation installer deaths in New Zealand until after the first fatality under Labor’s pink batts scheme.
He says the three electrocutions in New Zealand in 2007 were raised only briefly after Queenslander Matthew Fuller’s death, but added he should have been told earlier.
Mr Garrett said he had visited New Zealand in 2008 to see a house that had insulation installed for a low-income scheme, but his main priority was to speak about Japanese whaling, so he wasn’t briefed on the New Zealand deaths.
Now just as col,should have asked all the questions surrounding the sniffers car "accident",even while there to mind meld with the whales al ah spock,I would have thought some prudent questions about safety should have been raised.
Though perhaps not in the land of no fault accident insurance.
