Dear All,
Following on the thread on registration of environmental consultants,
the concept may be hard to sell to the NSW Govt. There is a bill, the
"OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (REGULATORY REFORM) BILL
2009" before the Upper House at the moment, to remove the need for
licensing of Opticians, and several building trades, such as pre-
purchase property inspectors and lift mechanics. It looks as if the
Minister for Regulatory Reform, Mr Tripodi, is keen to remove the
imposition of the cost of licensing on the grounds that the cost to
the industries does not justify the benefits to the Community. The
story can be read at the SMH site at: http://www.smh.com.au/national/cabinet-warned-on-licence-removals-20090622-cu0n.html
Make you think about taking the stairs, if they remove the requirement
for lift mechanics. I would be thinking, "What if this lift maintained
by an untrained, spotty, 17 year old, trained as a nail technician?".
Ah well, it is all in the name of efficiency, so it must be good.
