Couldn'T find a venting corner so here goes
Last night a nice young girl rang the bell and said have you heard of the government insulation rebate
Do you have insulation and how old [15 years ] if its compacted you qualify
Looks yep its compacted measures the house 144 sq meters yep we can do that tomorrow
so got the calculater out a pack does 9 sq meters so 16 packs
the installers arrived today and unloaded 4 packs [36 sq meters]
Got in the roof for 1/2 hr got down and stood there i said what about the other packs
We are finished look so had a look they split the bats in three
No way mate so there was a stand off
picked up the phone and said who do you want me to ring a current affair the local building inspector consumer affairs your boss who he nominated the boss so i spoke to him and he tried to fob me off and when i explained i hepled run a hardwere store and knew all about insulation he spoke to the blokes and told them to put in the right amount in the end i got 108 sq meters and the ripped of the government of the other 40
i am posting this on every forum and send it on to all your email buddies
PS i have spoken to the government department and consumer affairs

Jeez, :shock2: - your experiences are worse than what the news services are reporting !

KRudd must, by now, be thinking that bringing Garrett in was far from the best idea he's ever had ! Garrett's dept personnel must be about as useless as he is, as well.

Never let it be said that Garrett is useless though... Bloody brilliant band they were...

Just because someone is a political activist doesn't mean they should be a politician. :roll:

Yeah, don't mind the music, but please, no video clips of him dancing. It's a pity he didn't read the below wisdom in the 80's
