Fed: Rudd 'deeply sorry' for home insulation deaths

KEVIN RUDD says he's deeply sorry about the deaths of installers working on the federal
government's home insulation program.

The Prime Minister's comments come after he was accused today of being a "creep" for
not apologising to the parents of a man who died.

Mr RUDD met with Brisbane couple KEVIN and CHRISTINE FULLER .. whose 26 year old son
was the first installer to be electrocuted while working under the scheme.

The FULLERS told ABC's Four Corners program that the PM didn't offer them any sympathy
for their loss.

Mr RUDD's now apologised on behalf of the government .. saying they're deeply sorry
for what's happened to the FULLER family .. as well as to the other families who've lost
loved ones.
