My admiration for housing bodies and the work they do is clear. I try to support them at every stage possible. Regulation is a part of that support and is an important part of what we are trying to do when it comes to housing. I thank my officials for their work in progressing this Bill. I thank Senators for their co-operation, particularly Senator Kelleher for her co-operation with her amendments. It is good to get this regulation in place. I thank those who have been working in a voluntary code in the Housing Agency for the past number of years. Their next phase begins now as they transition from a voluntary regulator to a statutory regulator provided for by this legislation. I wish them well in their work.
