I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) Between 1 July 2011 and 31 October 2011, 1 033 household efficiency program assessments have been conducted. Data on the number of individual energy efficient products provided as part of these services is not readily available but is being sought by the Office of Energy. The information will be made available by 15 December 2011. I will make sure the honourable member gets that information. (2) The fridge replacement scheme has provided 464 replacement fridges between 1 July 2011 and 31 October 2011. As of 3 November 2011, the Office of Energy had received invoices for 317 fridges, with a total cost of $301 326.38, an average of $950.56 per fridge. (3) Under the subprogram, the Department of Housing is responsible for the delivery of services to state-owned dwellings. Planning for the implementation of energy efficiency services in state-owned dwellings is near completion, with installation of energy efficiency measures expected to commence in the first quarter of 2012. The Community Housing Coalition of Western Australia is responsible for the completion of a scoping study to deliver energy efficiency services to community-operated housing. The coalition is expected to complete the study by the end of 2011–12. (4) Since its commencement in late 2008, the hardship efficiency program has spent $9 887 500.
