I thank Ms Byrne. If the other members agree, maybe in an addendum to the letter to which I refer we should emphasise more haste and proactivity around the science that needs to be done here. Six months is too long. People are making decisions, doing outer leaf work and using four-inch blocks. Those doing the work are flat out but there are still concerns about the inside blocks and foundations. That could be stated in the letter as well

I have a question for Ms Murdock. If a home is remediated or is passed for remediation of the outer leaf, the owner will need funding. The homeowner will not be in a position to get insurance as a result of the structural issue. In order for that person to get finance, the bank will require an insurance certificate. I am interested in Ms Murdock's opinion on that very technical scenario.
