461. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. The
decision to not renew the building licence was part of a routine examination.
Can the Premier point to any action that his government has taken to
proactively bring this situation to resolution over the years that it has been
brought to its attention?

It was not brought to our attention.
This is work that Building and Energy does to make sure that all builders—not
just this one—conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the
standards of this industry. However, the act does not allow us to play that out
in public. These are actions that, by their very nature, must take place in a discreet
way to make sure that full procedural fairness is provided to all parties. That
is why the process has been gone through in this manner.
Obviously, the review of the company's
building registration may have provided an opportunity to actually put this
decision in place, but I can assure the Leader of the Opposition and all
members of the public that a lot of work has gone into this process to make
sure that all parties receive procedural fairness and, most importantly, to
make sure that we help those people get into their homes sooner.
