I thank the honourable member for the question.
(1)–(2)
I will have to take advice on the consequences of that and what the Building
Commission has in mind. I have not done so up until now, but I will await a
report from the Building Commission on the status of that particular operator
and those involved with that operation, once the Building Commission has had
the opportunity to consider the consequences of that company going into
administration.
