So capitalism and supply and demand being what it is, encouraged unqualified people to start laying batts much the same as ordinary home owners do. These people, seeing a quick buck, cut corners but home owners didn't care because they were getting something for nothing!
So we have the homeowners trying to get something for nothing, some dodgy tradespeople laying the insulation, and a Government that was doing its best to get money out into the community to stave off a depression.
But according to the pundits on this thread, only the Federal Government is to blame.
Perhaps the blame needs to be apportioned where it belongs!
