When Peter Garrett abruptly terminated the Government's beleaguered Home Insulation Program on Friday, he also axed another controversial federal scheme, the Green Loans Program.
Under this scheme, people could get a free energy assessment of their home, and then apply for a four-year interest free loan to finance improvements, to their energy efficiency. More than 200,000 homes have already been assessed, but only around 1,000 loans have been approved, with claims that the program has been mired in bureaucratic blockages.
Now the loans themselves have been scrapped and thousands of people who trained as assessors fear they'll go broke. Matt Peacock reports on the full story here : Green Loans Scrapped.
