Consumer and Business Services

Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (14:46): I have a question again to the Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs. Are all Felmeri customers covered by the building indemnity insurance scheme and, if so, how many have submitted claims to the scheme to date? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TEAGUE: On 31 August, the minister said QBE is now taking claims and said it again just now and processing those claims so that, and I quote, 'homeowners can finish their homes or have any defects rectified under their warranties'.

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts) (14:46): I can get an update from QBE through CBS on how many claims have actually been lodged. I know some are going through the process of obviously getting quotes to rectify some of the building works. There is a development at O'Halloran Hill that I went up to a couple of weeks ago with the Minister for Infrastructure and we talked to a couple of consumers there, so they are in the process of getting quotes. They can submit that to QBE and claim on their insurance policy. That work is being done, but I can get some information for you on exactly how many claims have actually been lodged as of today.
