    At least the Spam phone calls will stop…

    The overhaul needs to include an audit of the companies making claims.

    If they engaged in unsolicited phone calls to people on the Do Not Call list, they should have the subsidies repatriated back into the program.

      I think the DNC-ignoring callers are likely scammers imitating the real installers trying to get card numbers. If you paid one, you’d lose your money and not get the system.

        Scammers? Yes. Not part of the program? No.

        Just like the Solar Panel Scheme, LED Scheme and Insulation Scheme before them, I am confident that there are opportunistic companies rorting the system with barely adequate product and unqualified labour.

        Just like the serving politicians running the NDIS scam.

        Yeah installers are massively busy at the moment, they’re not going to be cold calling looking for work, they’ve got shitloads already
