A RUDD government staffer has denied he told insulation representatives the pink batts scheme was "all about jobs" and "we expect there may be injuries".
William Kimber, an assistant director in the home insulation policy team, says he wouldn't have made the comments.
Mr Kimber has told the royal commission into the scheme he had concerns about fires, injuries and deaths months before the July 1, 2009 rollout of the home insulation program.
He denied a claim made by another witness that he dismissed safety concerns during an industry meeting in May 2009.
"I did not say that because it is an incorrect statement and I would not have said an incorrect statement," he told the inquiry on Thursday.
He then went onto say: "Whilst the job element was important it wasn't the only factor in the government's decision to implement the program."
Insulation consultant Kevin Herbert told the inquiry last week that during the meeting a fellow industry representative said to Mr Kimber, "you're going to kill people".
Mr Herbert said Mr Kimber replied: "It's all about jobs. We expect there may be injuries."
He also claimed Mr Kimber said words to the effect of "we expect that houses will burn down".
The inquiry before Ian Hanger QC continues.
