BUILDING SAFETY

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:20): Can the minister advise whether, firstly, there has been an audit done of where all of these structures may exist and, secondly, whether there is any point of sale information that has been put in place and, if not, why not?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (15:20): My general understanding is that, and I will double-check this to make sure that it is correct, an audit would not have been done. The use of these roof trusses was quite commonplace over a period of time right throughout Australia. They have ceased to be used now in the industry for quite a considerable period of time and, because they are not currently sold or used any longer, point of sale information is not relevant or appropriate.
