I attended the St Hilliers Construction (in Administration) Pty Ltd Creditors Meeting this morning and experienced firsthand the disappointment of so many Subcontractors who are and will be affected by more rough treatment from the NSW State Government.

St Hilliers are endeavouring to trade out of their financial difficulties but have had the rug pulled from under them by the NSW Government. Only a matter of weeks ago the NSW Govt awarded St Hilliers 13 Housing Projects to complete – this was great for the subcontractors involved.

A clown named Greg Pearce, the NSW Minister for Finance & Services, was the person responsible for this ridiculous decision.

This decision only serves to disadvantage everyone – especially Subcontractors.

Barry O’Farrell should sack Greg Pearce now and re-instate St Hilliers as the Contractor for these works immediately.

Greg Pearce’s continued bungling of the running of his own department and his negative, destructive approach to the Reed debacle is costing Construction Industry Subcontractors dearly – subbies, small mums & dads businesses are only just hanging in there while Greg Pearce fails to get the money that is rightfully due to them quickly enough.

Our industry, the single largest industry in Australia, 4 times bigger than the mining industry needs more reform to the Security Of Payments Act to protect Subcontractors payments and move is afoot to make this happen sooner rather than later – hopefully the Government the people have elected to serve them will support the necessary reforms and bring them to fruition without delay.

Tonight at 7.30, on ABC1 TV, Journalist Quentin Dempster exposes the harsh treatment Subcontractors are suffering in our industry – not to be missed TV !!
