Builders fear new home warranty rules will price them out of market

so basically the government's solution to leaky homes is to make sure no one can afford to build them in the first place. classic.

typical. more red tape, higher costs, and small builders get squeezed out while the big developers laugh all the way to the bank. this country's a joke.

i actually think better quality controls are a good thing, but the insurance mandate is gonna kill the little guys. there's gotta be a middle ground.

ffs another tax on tradies. just what we need when housing is already unaffordable. get stuffed government.
