    The government said it would work with states and territories to pause further changes to the National Construction Code. It would then consult on ways to streamline the code, including the use of artificial intelligence to help tradies, small business and households in using the three-volume, 2000-page code.

    No fuck, don’t strap AI to this shit.

    “Chief executive [of the Property Council of Australia] Mike Zorbas described the announcements as “sensible” and a “win” for housing supply.

    “Let’s also put AI to work turbocharging housing delivery. A smart rollout of AI into planning and assessment systems will give decision-makers the clarity they need and save valuable time in delivering new homes,” he said…

    Oi, I said no! Fuck.

    So this is a property investment lobby group pushing for a freeze to further improvements to the national construction code and calling for the implementation of AI to weaken environmental protection.

    Fuck off knob.

    But former industry minister Ed Husic said this week he was concerned about a pause to the code.

    Husic said the former Coalition government had frozen new homebuilding regulations, only to rush through a mass of changes in a short period of time. “People who’ve lived in older homes with regulations that weren’t as strong understand why livability is such an issue.”

    This guy gets it though.
