Neco appeared in the Whitehorse Leader over the Government's backflip on the Home Insulation Program. The Government owes Neco around $600,000 in costs.

Steve Price spoke to Michael Tempany, Managing Director of Neco. Steve was interested in the impact the Government’s decision to completely shelve the Home Insulation Program had on small businesses like Neco.

Greg Hunt is the Shadow Minister for the Environment and a vocal critic of the Government's botched Home Insulation Program. To his credit Greg has tried to help affected businesses like Neco.

The Government really messed-up on the Home Insulation Program. Whilst the policy intent was good, the execution was appalling. Neco wrote to Greg Combet, the Minister charged with cleaning up the mess.

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!

The Age picked up on the sad story of Neco employee Kerri Borg, who was one of 80 Neco workers to lose their jobs in the wake of the Government's abrupt cancellation of the Home Insulation Scheme.

The Australian picked up on Neco's plight after the Government decided to cancel the Home Insulation Program overnight. The policy intent of the program was good, but the execution was appalling.

The Government’s decision to end the Home Insulation Program so suddenly was the wrong move. Read an open letter to the media from Neco Managing Director Michael Tempany explaining why.
