Over the years the Federation has walked a fine line between giving up and wondering what the hell we have left to hang on to, and as the years have passed, with no positive responses from the Government and the Board, that line got thinner but this year, the line got thicker with positive actions and lines of communication being developed with the Board. Read about the thin line and did you know your whole life, with all its challenges and accomplishments, can be summed up with one thin red line on a graph.

Robert Collier once said "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out" and we believe the Federation has maintained that stance every week with the production of the Fellow Practitioner which this week is up to 284 editions!!! Read Wal Gordon's, views of the state of the industry.

The more and more the Federation gets involved with the training needed in the industry the more and more money we see getting wasted.
The NZQA Qualification review is a prime example of a process that we believe has been railroaded to develop a qualification that will make people money and we believe will not produce the tradespeople needed to prosper as an industry. Is this the start of another battle?
