Thankfully I don’t have to deal with pyrite in my home, but I do think it’s only fair if builders responsible are no longer around that the government do something to look after people unfortunate enough to be subjected to this. But I’d still like those responsible jailed or punished for not taking responsibility for such appalling work.

Home bond is not worth the paper its writen on.It was designed by builders for builders so every loop hole is closed off.

Good builders work I’d say in the boom years and attention to smallest detail… And cost of properly fixing pyrite ridden house is not far from building a new home. New concrete slab, new services, new partition walls, and 1st floor too. Roof is probably OK…
Unless they do another quick job that half fixes the problem only, so as typical – be alright, let someone else worry about it in 15 years time. Really sorry for people who paid fortunes for that.

Yes the homebond is worthless unless you can afford to pay hundreds of thousands in legal fees. So many get out clauses.

Never a truer word spoken above every single body involved have get out clauses they were able to worm out of..leaving us with nobody to turn to-makes my skin crawl and after battling this for 7 years they should all be lined against a wall and shot. You buy a jumper and it’s faulty you’ve rights you buy a house in good faith and it’s pyrite Contaminated you have nothing .. This whole system is a joke

Disgraceful regulation once again makes an appearance – first the banks and now the construction industry.

I’m beginning to see a trend…

There was no effective testing at the 5 quarries suspected of supplying the building materials containing pyrite. Only one of those quarries is still operational. The form of pyrite is not usually visible to the naked eye therefore very unlikely the building companies had a clue.
