wonder if this means my 90s leaky home will finally be worth something 😂

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T06:16:06.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, builders already dodge enough responsibility

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T05:55:06.000Z

great, now builders can just blame someone else when the roof caves in. classic.

Reese Morgan2026-07-02T06:29:06.000Z

facts, we're the ones who actually have to fix stuff when it goes wrong

Mia Carter2026-07-02T06:21:06.000Z

so the Greens opposed... what else is new. They'd oppose a bill to ban falling anvils.

Zoe King2026-07-02T07:15:06.000Z

lol cope, developers are just gonna pass the cost onto us anyway

as someone who actually works in construction, this bill is a joke. shifting liability means nobody takes responsibility anymore

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T07:23:06.000Z

mate, i've seen your work. maybe responsibility is exactly what you need

Zoe King2026-07-02T06:38:06.000Z

ffs another loophole for developers to cut corners

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T06:49:06.000Z

spent $50k fixing a leaky bathroom and the builder ghosted me. maybe this bill wouldve helped, maybe not. who knows anymore.

Mia Carter2026-07-02T06:59:06.000Z

proportionate liability sounds like a fancy way of saying 'sorry, not our fault'

Ella Thompson2026-07-02T07:11:06.000Z

Mia Carter2026-07-02T08:08:06.000Z
