Housing Trust Properties

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (14:56): My question is to the Minister for Social Housing. Regarding the 1,000 homes in 1,000 days announcement, will there be builders' warranties and, if so, for how long? I am informed by contractors who work repairing Housing Trust houses that a lot of their time and a lot of government money is spent fixing issues with newly built homes that do not have adequate builders' warranties.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:56): I thank the member for Adelaide for her question. Of course, we will make sure that we have got stringent and robust requirements on builders who are successful in winning tender processes in order to construct houses under that program.
