36314 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister for Building and Construction: Will the Minister undertake to read the full version of the second annual Construction Confidence Check survey, released in August 2026, which says that economic uncertainty, rising costs, tighter customer budgets, planning delays and margin instability were weighing on the industry?

Hon Simon Watts: I intend to read a variety of material related to the portfolio, including material from the construction sector. In the time since I recieved the Ministerial Warrant this week I have not read this document.
