The solution is to extend the time lines, as I have outlined. That is the solution to the problem that confronts us.</text>
        <text id="20210316c3f2a3041e2a42c690000147">It is a wonderful type of problem to have because 12 months ago many commentators, including some in the opposition, were talking about builders going broke and large numbers of jobs being lost. The commonwealth government has resolved those particular issues, and we are now confronted with issues of a different nature. This government's view is, 'Let's identify the problem and what the solution is, and prosecute the solution.' That is what we have indeed done.</text>
