438. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Deputy Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Before I ask my supplementary question, I join the Deputy Premier in wishing
the best for the Premier at this difficult time. I send the condolences of the
opposition to him.
Nicheliving customers have been
calling for action from the Deputy Premier's government for over a year,
and we have asked countless questions about this in recent weeks. When will the
government come up with a plan to help the hundreds of families who are trapped
in limbo?

The Minister for Commerce and the
Building Commissioner are working on this issue at the moment. As I said, this
is complicated. As we know, in some instances—in many instances—private
companies sometimes do not do the right thing or face some significant challenges
in delivering what they promised to do. As a result, we are going through this very systematically. Also, we feel
for, understand and have a lot of concern for the individuals involved . That is why we were the first and only state to
bring in a builders' loan facility, acknowledging that there are
stranded houses out there, and behind every stranded house is a family
or an individual facing severe anxiety and stress
in relation to not having their house finished. We understand that. We
take this issue seriously. That is why we will make sure that we develop a proposal that works in this instance but
will also be very much protected or respected in any further probe or
analysis. We will make sure that we have spent taxpayers' money wisely,
while also protecting the individuals involved.
