Aluminium Composite Cladding

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:42): My question is to the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, representing the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Can the minister advise whether the government will consider making a public register of buildings that have been affected by cladding issues? What are the current obligations of owners who are aware of cladding issues or, for that matter, any other issue that may influence a prospective purchaser considering buying such a property?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:43): I thank the honourable member for his important question and I will take that and refer it to my colleague the Hon. Stephan Knoll in the other place, Minister for Planning, Transport and Infrastructure.
