Minister Penk considering reverting to old building standards

From Checkpoint, 5:16 pm on 17 July 2024

A new standard to keep our homes warm and dry introduced just last year, may be rolled back if Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk gets his way. Information obtained by RNZ under the Official Information Act shows that Minister Penk is considering reverting to the old building standards despite being advised the new standards were overwhelmingly supported. Chris Penk speaks to Susana Lei'ataua.
