Australia: Bungled batts would 'scare' public

The number of homes found with unsafe insulation from the federal government's bungled scheme will be kept secret because it would scare the public and ruin fraud investigations, the responsible bureaucrat has argued.

The government on Monday released an update on its progress to wind down the $2.45 billion home insulation scheme.

An auditor-general's report last week found safety practices were overlooked in the Environment Department's rush to roll it out.

Four deaths and hundreds of fires have been linked to the program, with more than 4000 cases of potential fraud identified.

If you want to understand how utterly soulless and nihilistic environmentalism is than you need only pay attention to what they say.
