The Victorian Government said a national approach was needed to address the cladding issue and said it would push for that at today's Building Ministers' Forum in Hobart.
Mr Wynne said the Spencer Street fire was a reminder of the need to act quickly on the matter.
"I'll be pushing for a nationwide ban on combustible cladding really to further protect Victorians from being exposed to unacceptable fire risk," he said.
"The Federal Government have to step up to the plate, they are responsible for all products that come into this country across the border

LINKOh take your time. The Neo200 latest blaze only took 60 firefighters, two ladder trucks, etc., for a bit of an inferno which had been classified as moderate risk. So not too bad. Residents will only need to find somewhere to stay for a few weeks.
Geez, nobody died
You mean you're really going to call for a national ban on the stuff?
But the suckers who bought those thousands of apartments which are cloaked in the stuff still haven't paid to have it removed and replaced before they can even begin to try to unload their places
so we don't want to crash the real estate market even more
No, take your time. Most people thought you would have banned the stuff years ago. I mean, local councils fritter hundreds of thousands of ratepayers' money away in court in order to save a footpath-destroying tree
so guess it's understandable the public expected you important-guys would have stopped allowing importation and use of deadly, flammable crap -- which just happens to make it easier and more profitable for developers who then walk away and leave mortgage-ridden suckers holding the toxic burning baby
