Check all cladding

MALCOLM Turnbull has written to premiers and chief ministers asking them to review the use of cladding after the devastating tower fire in London.

At least 79 people died in the Grenfell Tower blaze that may have been fuelled by the same flammable cladding found to be responsible for the Lacrosse apartment tower fire in Melbourne three years ago.

“That tragic event has highlighted the need for all highrise buildings to comply with Australia’s national construction code,” the Prime Minister told parliament yesterday.
