Toxic batts claim ups pressure on Garrett

The Opposition has ramped up calls for Peter Garrett to resign as Environment Minister, after he said he was warned imported insulation batts may contain dangerous levels of toxic chemicals.

Mr Garrett has been under fire in Parliament all week over the safety of the Federal Government's insulation program, with the Opposition saying he repeatedly ignored safety warnings about problems that led to the deaths of four insulation installers.

Now Mr Garrett has confirmed that an industry leader warned him cheap imported insulation reeked of formaldehyde and could generate toxic fumes when heated.

Warrick Batt says says he has had several meetings with Mr Garrett over the last six months and also raised concerns about whether the batts were being installed to Australian standards.

Mr Garrett says he has not seen any proof to back up claims that dangerous levels of chemicals were present in the insulation batts.

"We know that formaldehyde is used as a binding agent, but all batts have to conform to Australian standards and if products that conform to those standards and have the appropriate warnings then they're acceptable to go into ceilings," he said.

Opposition Environment spokesman Greg Hunt says he should be sacked.

"It's about standing up for the Australian people on the basis of safety," he said.

Mr Hunt says it should not be left to the insulation industry to produce the proof.

"Mr Garrett's program created the problem, created the need for importing Chinese batts and we know that there are potentially deadly Chinese batts," he said.

"Of course the Government should oversee its program.

"To blame the industry, to blame the installers and not to take responsibility is simple negligence and the Minister now, surely, must go."

Opposition leader Tony Abbott says the matter calls into question Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's competency.

"Someone has to take responsibility for the very, very serious maladministration of this program," he said.

"But every day Mr Rudd protects this incompetent Minister, his own Prime Ministership is called more into question."

Mr Garrett says he has Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's full support.

$10 Million for Muslim Terrorists

 

$10m of taxpayers money to try terrorists

TAXPAYERS paid out more than $10 million on legal aid for a group of nine Sydney terrorists, the Government revealed yesterday.

Attorney-General Robert McClelland pointed to the extraordinary circumstances of the case: it took 11 months, with more than 3000 exhibits tendered and 300 witnesses.

But the Opposition condemned the spending, and said "thousands" of Australians were denied any legal assistance - let alone one million dollars. At a parliamentary committee hearing, the Government revealed the accused terrorists were given $10.1 million in legal aid.

Five of the accused were found guilty of conspiring to commit an act in preparation for a terrorist attack, while four pleaded guilty to lesser terrorism-related charges before the trial. Liberal Senator Guy Barnett, who uncovered the legal bill, questioned the Government's priorities.

"Most Australians would be shocked to realise that over $10 million in taxpayers' funds has been spent defending the rights of those convicted of terrorist offences," he said. "That's over $1 million defending the rights of each terrorist.

"What about the thousands of Australians around the country who [are refused] legal aid to assist in a family law matter, for example ... I wonder how they feel?"

Mr McClelland's department said the expenses had been met from the Expensive Commonwealth Criminal Cases Fund. The department described the fund as dedicated to Commonwealth criminal law cases and said it did "not impact on the level of Commonwealth funding available for other Commonwealth law matters".

A spokesman for Mr McClelland defended the $10 million legal aid bill.

Trials could be at risk "and justice could not be done" if an accused in a serious criminal trial had no proper legal representation.

Any decisions regarding individual grants of aid were matters for each legal aid commission and Mr McClelland did not intervene in the process, the spokesman added. Legal Aid NSW chief executive of Alan Kirkland said confidentiality provisions meant he could not detail why the case required so much legal aid funding. But he said the cost in any trial was based on the "length and complexity of the matter".

The terror arrests followed a series of raids in Sydney's southwest on November 8, 2005.

Lu Kewen aka. Australian PM Kevin Rudd CALLS FOR more Sharia Banks in Australia

 

".....So we have got to have a tax system that’s adaptable to recognizing,WE have to be adaptable,if WE are to be attractive to this market"
Simon Crean, Rudd Labor Government Finance Minister

Fresh Thinking 

My Name is Lu Kewen aka. Kevin, I’m from Queensland, and I’m here to help….. introduce Islamic Sharia Terrorist Financing into Australia,and remember what Simon said, start learning to ADAPT ………….that is, if you know what’s good for you.

It must be remembered,even if I forgot,that 2010 is an election year in Australia, and just as Lu Kewen’s Labor Union Funded Labor Party and it’s like minded International Socialist committed foreign governments and special interest groups aka. freedom fighters etc. around the world out spent the previous Howard government’s re election spending, I am sure Lu Kewen sees the facilitation of Sharia Banking in Australia as a prudent concession so close to an election campaign.
