36500 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister for Building and Construction: Does he agree with Construction Matters that the Hon Chris Penk is "going to be a tough act to follow"; if yes, what is his plan to reassure the sector?

Hon Simon Watts: I agree that my predecessor made significant and important contributions to this government's building and construction policy agenda. I intend to continue the momentum of that work and deliver on the government's priorities and work program.
