The code of practice and portal are welcome but they have been open for a while. I am representing the frustration of the Not Our Fault campaign and other constituents who are regularly outside protesting and looking for this. I appreciate what the Minister is saying around owners' management companies, OMCs, but the reality is there is tension between residents and many owners' management companies. The OMCs do not have the money and look to get it for the works from residents who do not have the money. There is a variety OMCs. There is a deep tension at times. There are issues with insurance and huge risk. The code of practice and portal are welcome but I have to give voice to that frustration that it is taking its time and has been slow. I welcome that it will open this month; I hope it does.
