Mr GREG WARREN (Campbelltown) (12:43): I am delighted to speak briefly in debate on the Fair Trading and Building Legislation Amendment Bill 2026. I acknowledge the Minister and his team for their work in preparing the bill to amend 22 Acts, which is considerable reform. It is an indication of a progressive government that continues to review legislation to ensure that it is fit for purpose, fit for industry and appropriately represents the people of New South Wales, particularly in the portfolios of Building, Better Regulation and Fair Trading that affect so many people's lives—whether it is small businesses or working families at the back of Campbelltown. The Government is updating and amending legislation to ensure that it is achieving its agenda.

The bill amends the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999, the Building and Development Certifiers Act 2018, the Building Products (Safety) Act 2017, the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991, the Community Gaming Act 2018, the Community Land Management Act 2021, the Conveyancers Licensing Act 2003, the Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020, the Duties Act 1997, the Fair Trading Act 1987, the Home Building Act 1989, the Motor Dealers and Repairers Act 2013, the Paintball Act 2018, the Pawnbrokers and Second-hand Dealers Act 1996, the Property and Stock Agents Act 2002, the Residential Apartment Buildings (Compliance and Enforcement Powers) Act 2020, the Residential Tenancies Act 2010, the Retirement Villages Act 1999, the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, the Strata Schemes Legislation Amendment Act 2025, the Swimming Pools Act 1992, and the Tow Truck Industry Act 1998. No‑one should be under any illusion about the extent of the work undertaken to present these reforms. Initially, I mentioned that these reforms are essential because, as a Parliament, members must ensure that all those Acts are fit for purpose.

The bill is designed to enhance industry, to increase confidence and to improve regulation while being overseen by a very good and capable Minister, my friend and member for Macquarie Fields, who is in the House. The bill will also clarify the intent of the legislation and tighten language to ensure the licensing framework is effective and fit for purpose. Additionally, the bill will remove references to the loose‑fill asbestos insulation public register under the Home Building Act 1989. This change seeks to remove unnecessary provisions relating to a public register that will no longer be maintained. The bill is the result of a regular and ongoing review of legislation within each relevant portfolio to improve regulatory quality. The bill includes amendments that are necessary to ensure reforms passed by this Parliament can operate as intended. I stated at the beginning of my speech that I would be brief and, having concluded my remarks, I look forward to the Minister's reply. I thank the House.
