An article in the latest edition of Insurance News (the magazine) says expanded polystyrene panels on the Lacrosse apartments were responsible for the fire that damaged its exterior.

The Insulated Panel Council Australasia has pointed out that the panels referred to were in fact aluminium composite. The error was made in the editing of the article.

Broker AB Phillips has formed a facility with the council to cover the installers of panels that comply with official standards and industry codes and are also fit for purpose.
