I had a similar kind of response from Ministers. Previous Governments had ministerial engagement on apartment defects and resolutions were found. There is a level of frustration on my side as that level of engagement is no longer taking place. Solutions have been found for other developments. We need a structure for everyone. This should not be done on an individual basis and should not depend on how experienced public representatives are in resolving such issues. There has to be a structure around this which creates a pathway for every defective block to get resolved. We need to get away from the quick fix. I have direct experience of this issue. Some of my family members have been caught in these circumstances and what they have gone through is horrible and horrendous. It is like putting one's life on pause for ten years. It is just not on.
