Fed: Turnbull supports construction efforts in fire zone

Opposition Leader MALCOLM TURNBULL has promised Australia's construction industry it
will have the full support of federal parliament in rebuilding sections of Victoria ravaged
by bushfires.

Mr TURNBULL's told the Master Builders Association the industry will prove critical
in helping devastated towns on the road to recovery.

He says he and the prime minister have their differences but the industry that's going
to be rebuilding those towns .. will have the support of both sides of parliament to make
sure the Victorian people will get whatever it takes to put them back on their feet.

Mr TURNBULL says he expects building and construction companies in New South Wales
and Victoria will be on the frontline of reconstruction.
