The end of the Home Insulation Program saw Neco make the front page of the local paper for all the wrong reasons. Our story is typical of many honest insulation companies.

Neco wasn't on the lawns of Parliament House when Kevin Rudd came out armed with his pen and notebook. But we were just as angry back at our Blackburn offices!
