The review was not to happen for 12 months. Senator Cummins stood here and said he had concerns, some of which are listed in this letter. I am not saying that he said that but I am saying that there are people who have existing problems with the foundations of their houses and they will not be able to access the scheme because the review will be 12-months away.

The Senator has had his time. I am saying that the Senator did address the concerns around this.
