I'm sure there will be more buildings found to be unsafe in coming years - ABC:

Residents have been ordered to leave an apartment building in Melbourne's south-east which is covered in combustible cladding.

The Mordialloc building was deemed unsafe to occupy after an inspection by the Victorian Building Authority's (VBA) statewide cladding audit on Thursday.

Most of the decade-old complex's 17 units were already vacant, with the four remaining residents given 48 hours to move out.
The VBA's chief executive officer, Sue Eddy, said the decision was not taken lightly.

She said the building had a number of defects including combustible cladding on the external walls, insufficient essential safety measures and significant water damage that had led to extensive mould.

There are probably hundreds of apartment blocks across the nation that will need extensive remediation or possible demolition - who will end up footing the bill?
