Senate Inquiry into Green Loans Program

The Federal Member for Mitchell, Alex Hawke, is encouraging local residents affected by the Rudd Government’s Green Loans Program to consider making a submission to the Senate Inquiry into the scheme.

“The Green Loans Program has greatly affected many local residents and I strongly encourage those who have had problems to make a submission to the Senate Inquiry,” Mr Hawke said.

“There clearly have been failings both for those seeking to participate in the Program, and to those who went through much time and expense in becoming an assessor.

“The Green Loans Program is a part of a suite of Rudd Government environment programs which have experienced serious failures of process and administration. It is vital that all problems are considered as part of the Senate inquiry.”

Information about the inquiry and how to make a submission can be found at:

Please note in particular that submissions should be received by the Senate committee by 14 April, to assist with its reporting by 21 June.
