Residents of unsafe new homes call on both sides of politics to reform NT building standards

People who've unwittingly bought defective unsafe new homes, and some builders, are calling on both sides of Northern Territory politics to commit to reforming the NT's building regulation regime before this month's election. They're also lobbying for a commitment to change the government's residential building insurance schemes, which often don't cover major defects. But neither Labor nor the Country Liberal opposition are offering reforms.
