I am also just finishing off typing my submission.

If this bill goes through as it is currently written we are all screwed. This is it really, final show down. I am also going to phone for a possible slot to speak at the select committee hearing.

Costs to be a licensed plumber, gasfitter and drainlayer inc CPD as a non- master plumber member ($30 per point) is already at $1400 from my last calculation.
If the Board are allowed to impose any disciplinary levy they feel fit to fulfil their role in prosecuting/investigating any breaches of the act by any person, along with other general rises in costs (CPD will keep going up as will license fees) it will be $2000 in just a few short years to remain licensed and competent in three trades.

Hoping this gets shot down in flames....
