*** DAILY HANSARD PROOF ONLY - DO NOT QUOTE ***
... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:11): (935) Many of my constituents in the south-east, both individuals and businesses, have begun receiving their land tax bills recently, so my question is for the Treasurer. Understandably, many of them are very upset at the huge increases. In fact I ...

*** DAILY HANSARD PROOF ONLY - DO NOT QUOTE ***
... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (15:26): It is certainly the case, as many have mentioned, that buying a house, buying a home, is for most people the biggest financial purchase of their life. For many people this goes well; they buy a home, they are happy with it ...

*** DAILY HANSARD PROOF ONLY - DO NOT QUOTE ***
... David LIMBRICK: I have a few questions for the minister which are rather specific and technical. I refer to clause 73, new subsection 45(1A)(a), where it reads ‘in respect of which a claim under the statutory insurance scheme may be made’. Could the minister explain the operation and intent of this particular section?...

... David LIMBRICK: If I can provide a scenario which has been raised with me. if a home owner has not paid their final payment for their house and yet they have an insurance claim put in through the statutory insurance scheme, would it be the case that before attempting to obtain that money from the home owner,...

... David LIMBRICK: Just for further clarity then, if there is an insurance claim by a home owner and the builder may be owed money, they would still have the ability to enforce their normal contractual rights without first obtaining consent from the SIS. Is that correct? ...

... David LIMBRICK: That was good for clarifying that. The next question I have is on clause 74, new section 45GA, suspension of referral. If there is a dispute resolution process through the DBDRV, then that would be effectively paused or stopped if there was an insurance claim. Is that correct? ...

*** DAILY HANSARD PROOF ONLY - DO NOT QUOTE ***
... David LIMBRICK: I thank the minister for clarifying that. However, doesn’t this create a sort of perverse incentive in that if a builder has sought dispute resolution through the DBDRV and then if the home owner wants to delay that process, for example, if they can launch an insurance claim through the SIS, doesn’t ...

... David LIMBRICK: But effectively, the contractual disputes and the insurance disputes through this clause are sort of intertwined, because if there is a contractual dispute – like let us say the builder has not received final payment and then the home owner initiates an insurance claim – then the contractual dispute is suspended until that insurance claim ...

*** DAILY HANSARD PROOF ONLY - DO NOT QUOTE ***
... David LIMBRICK: Clause 84 is basically around the definition of ‘defective’. There has been some concern from some people that ‘defective’ is a very wide term. In the second-reading speeches, including my own, everyone was talking about very bad, severe defects like mould and these sorts of things, but a defect could also be ...

... David LIMBRICK: I accept the intent of what you are talking about there, but if the government is having – a term that the minister has said that she hates – a one-stop shop, wouldn’t all consumers go to the one-stop shop for every problem that they saw? Surely that is that is what would be ...
