"I did all the checks that I thought I needed to and, low and behold, it was hidden further down in the ceiling cavity."A regular building inspection for a house before it is sold in the ACT only includes general advice about the likely location of asbestos. "The ACT government considered that the current provisions, including mandatory asbestos awareness training for tradespeople, had been effective in identifying the relatively small number of homes that have been detected since the scheme commenced," Ms Vassarotti said in a statement.
"This just shouldn't happen — it shouldn't happen to a builder, it shouldn't happen to a layman, it shouldn't happen to anyone. This is not right."Asbestos taskforce head Lea Durie says there may be more undiscovered Mr Fluffy houses.
