Why do we have to be licensed?
« on: October 10, 2014, 08:01:56 AM »
This article on "Stuff" yesterday gave everyone a laugh I'm sure.  http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/10598792/Dancing-on-the-street

A quick check on the PGDB website shows that he has no license at all yet he lays public drains. Why is this acceptable, yet we can't get a mate to help for a day unless he is licensed?

Hi Wombles

He will be under the supervision of the Council Engineer and we all know they are beyond question because they have a degree and we only have decades of experience. Double standards again.
