The Royal Commission into four deaths due to the Rudd government's home insulation scheme has entered its final week of hearings in Brisbane.

 

Mark Arbib is the first Labor minister to give evidence ahead of the much awaited testimony of Kevin Rudd later this week.

 

SBS Queensland correspondent Stefan Armbruster has been at the hearing and he says Mark Arbib started the day by avoiding the waiting media.
