I'll tell what the response is from Dr Max MD........


Max,

 

Under an Official Information Act request.

 

Please can you tell me as owner of the “fit and proper” policy and the decision maker of licensing….what are your qualifications to judge an applicants health, do you have any medical qualifications?
 

What health issues would render an applicant unfit based solely on health? What are the parameters that you would base an opinion on?
 

So Mr Jackson if......in the info brief


This requirement affects people applying to be registered in the licensed class and will not affect tradespeople renewing their existing licences or applying to be registered in the certifying class.

Why is this hidden in the policy.........

4 Guiding principles
4.1 An applicant must satisfy the Board they are a fit and proper person to be entitled to:
a be registered under section 36 of the Act
b be issued with a practising licence under section 44 of the Act
c a renewal of their practising licence under section 51 of the Act.

Now this is just wrong 


Examinations policy
Updates to the examinations policy affect people who want to apply to sit examinations after 1 September 2014. Currently examination candidates for examinations 9192 licensed plumber, 9193 licensed gasfitter and 9197 licensed drainlayer must be enrolled to complete or have already completed their national certificate for the trade they applying to sit their registration examination in. From 1 September 2014 a person will be required to have completed their national certificate in order to be eligible to sit these examinations.

This is just another block in the way of apprentices.

How many of you guys sat and passed your exams before you finished your national certificate?

This is just designed to keep us oppressed as long as possible as labourers

Just when you think we have run out of things to take the piss, they do something like this......got to be fair they are givers.....

Right, next year I am going to go for a five year license....and cut some of the costs by a fifth......some of the costs

So now to do plumbing, crawl through shit under houses and clear blocked drains of crap..... we are going to do an annual audit (if they get what they want), CPD which is illegal, pass a medical check, a police check......what are we joining the CIA?

All on Max's say so and opinion......if you don't provide the info to their intrusive questions.....no license......making you a criminal just for working......we are people who want to contribute and work, building this country.......not dole bludgers for Christ sake......

I used to be a commercial diver and my annual medical was $400, my mate just told me a pilots medical costs nearer $700 now a days....or is Dr Max MD going to do the health checks.....WTF. We don't earn enough to cover this bullshit.

When did this great career become so bloody complex.....these clowns got to go.....

Fit and Proper......they don't even know the meaning of the words.

Craftsman, wanna join up and write a book, all the people shafted by the Board could write a chapter....man I could do a fecking trilogy......Title...The Board, a story of the wild west.....cowboys and idiots........

Been there mate, got the tee shirt.....I was fitted up right and proper....Think about how they abused their power stitching me up.....what do you think they are going to do with this crap.....

Can someone ask Maurice if he is happy about it all......he won't talk to me any more.

hi guys,
... O.k. if we are to have this rule lets start at the top. The person making this judgement of `Fit and Proper` must be` Fit and Proper` themself. So who will this person be? A present board member, No, they have not been deemed to be `Fit and proper` persons, so Professional people like:-Politicians?Lawyers?Accountants?Doctors?Judges ?Financial Advisers?Real Estate Agents, we need to find someone who does not have a `Skeleton in the Cupboard` who is squeaky clean, ah but wait there is a person coming soon who may fit the bill, the Dalai Lama I think we can rely on his judgement , we can trust him, or we may have to wait until the resurrection, cheers
