36503 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister for Building and Construction: What lessons, if any, does he plan to implement from his predecessor's work programe in the Building and Construction portfolio?

Hon Simon Watts: The biggest lesson I have taken from this government's work program is that cutting red tape and setting sensible standards for the sector gives us the best chance to deliver what this country needs. This is why I strongly support and will continue this government's work program.
