Australian company hits back over safety of aluminium panels

From Morning Report, 7:48 am on 5 April 2018

An Australian company is hitting back over the major safety questions raised in New Zealand about aluminium panels used to clad the outside of high-rises. Certmark of Queensland says it's proved its certificates are good enough, and a top fire engineer should not have faulted them. In a report leaked to RNZ News, engineer Tony Enright called for all Certmark's certificates covering aluminium composite panels to be suspended. Phil Pennington reports.
