Scott Emerson has blasted the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) for failing to hold builders to account.

“Not a single tradie or company was held to account or made to pay a penalty,” Scott said on 4BC Drive.

“For actions which could have resulted in injury, or even death, to consumers.”
