My question is to the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Senator Sinodinos. Evidence presented to the current Senate inquiry into non-conforming building products has revealed the existence of widespread importation of dangerous flammable panels into Australia, panels that were described in the committee's report as being more flammable than petrol. Can the minister confirm that these products have been installed and continue to be installed on thousands of buildings in Australia, including large public hospitals in several states?
