Hunt in push to restore solar water rebate

The federal opposition will introduce a bill to restore the solar hot water rebate.

Opposition frontbencher Greg Hunt says he will give notice of the introduction of the Private Members’ Bill in parliament on Tuesday.

The bill will demand the government commit to the remaining funding it had allocated for the scheme, which totalled $64.5 million for 2011-12.

“We have sought the support of the Greens in backing the bill,” Mr Hunt said in a statement.

“It will be a test of the Greens’ sincerity and commitment to the solar industry.

“A failure to support the bill will be an indication that the Greens are putting politics before principles.”
