This is great news, and something that should have been done a long time ago. Also, fuck Fletcher building.

$5 that this is all fluff.

They’ll “set up the framework” and then not use it.

“Ah yeah, Australian building standards far exceed ours in most metrics, but none of it’s been … uh … earthquake tested. Yes! None of its been earthquake tested. So … no”

Then labour will come in, start to actually use it, and when we flip flop back to National, finger point, blame, and retroactively tear it all down. Then anyone with Australian building materials in their house get their insurance claims denied or something equally absurd.
