There are so many issues to discussed on this. With the damage threshold, it is now a case of just a visual sighting of it and people are being refused on the basis of the cracks in the wall not being wide enough. Why is the Department prolonging the suffering of homeowners who want to get on with rebuilding their lives?

If they know what they have in their blocks and have the testing done, why is it just being done on a visual basis? We have the agency, but the Department is making homeowners wait in a state where they know there will not be an overnight fix or any outcome apart from having their home be rebuilt.
