  • THE federal government will spend $10 million to help thousands of workers affected by changes to the bungled home insulation program.
  • The schemes, part of the Rudd government's $42 billion stimulus package, will be replaced with another renewable energy rebate that will take effect from June.
  • An additional $10 million will provide 2000 jobs training places, on top of the 4000 places announced last year, he said.

Greg's Comment:

That's an extra $10 million + $10 million + $5 million for foil insulation inspections that was never budgeted for.  Next, how much to compensate the pre-existing insulation industry after the government has literally destroyed it? - and I guess there will be further elctoral fallout.
