BUILDING (AMENDMENT) BILL (NO. 2) 1992
MR MOORE (10.33): Madam Speaker, I present the Building (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1992.
Title read by Clerk.
MR MOORE: I move:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
First of all, I congratulate Mr Connolly for acting so quickly in releasing to the media his intention to amend the regulations regarding insulation. I believe that it was exactly an hour-and-a-half after I revealed to a Labor member that I was intending to present a Bill on this issue.
Mr De Domenico: Did it take that long?
MR MOORE: That has to be a record in anyone's terms, although we have seen some pretty fast things.
Mr Connolly: I can show you the documents going back to June that we were doing this.
Mr Wood: It has been on the go for a long time. You know that.
MR MOORE: I am sure that it means that we can look forward to other lightning changes in the future. I have interjections from Mr Wood and Mr Connolly that it has been on the go for a long time. I do understand that these things do not happen quickly. In fact, I have been working for two-and-a-half months on preparing this legislation.
