Grenfell Tower in London
A list of 444
buildings across NSW potentially clad in flammable material (similar to that used in the Grenfell Tower in London) has been released
to the NSW Parliament, but will not be shown to the public after the government
deemed the privileged document a security risk.
The list was handed to the NSW
Legislative Council on October 31 after all non-government parties voted for the
government to turn it over, but the Department of Customer Service said
releasing the list would increase the risk of arson and terrorism.
In its bid to keep the list secret the government lodged a privilege
claim, which included the security risks as well as saying its public release
could hurt property owners, potentially mislead the public and breach
expectations of confidentiality.
It comes as a trade union demands
federal intervention in a wider “national construction crisis,” which is
estimated to have cost the country $10 billion over the past decade because of
a lack of adequate procurement and infrastructure proficiency within state
governments…….
