Thanks for posting that Robbo - I've just read the full story in the Nelson Mail.  Certainly worth a read... and such a shame that Paul's concerns weren't acted on sooner.

Master plumbers use to tell tell us they represent the entire industry( even though only 5% can vote) then along came Wal and they dropped there claim to 90% of the industry they didn't realise that Wal had some friends and a plan and one year after the federation was formed ,the maaaaster plumberrrs release a press statement fair welling there installed master plumber from the board  whilst reminding us the they represent 60% of the industry .
