hi guys, ("I think the Ombudsman's Office is wrong)!!!!
...
The country does not need an`OMBUDSMAN` we have got Maurice Williamson, cheers

I feel sorry for him being led up the garden path treated like a mushroom....kept in the dark and fed bullshit....

Maurice.... have a good look around you and see who are the people who are filling your head with nonsense..........they are looking after themselves.........at your expense.

Maurice you are loosing credibility hand over fist, legalising illegal actions, telling the Ombudsman, Regulation Review Committee, Auditor General.....and soon the select committee that they got it wrong and that you and your little pal Bickers are right......

hi plumber, you have to do volume, i wrote one email and then copy/paste the whole lot of M.Ps.eads into it,try that,cheers

Guys, I really feel that we are finally getting some real momentum and traction, we should go for broke now, as much publicity as possible, a show of strength and numbers and broadcast all the shit we have been dealt.

All the hard work that the Federation have put in to get this, this far, needs to be recognised by your actions and efforts, these guys have put in years and years to get to this point....whats an email to your MP in comparison, its for OUR industry.

One thing is for sure....... an opportunity like this don't come about often...........Jesus, its never happened before.........Think on it.

Tell as many politicians what you know, make sure its factual and you can back it up.

These bastards are experts in riding out storms and sweeping stuff under the carpet and allowing time to do their work....well some storms can f**** you up no matter where you duck for cover.

 ...Might need to take my lap top to the shop tomorrow, I literally spat my tea over it ...."Robbo...are you swearing in your emails", LOL.

Hi guys, having listened to most of the M.Ps. talk on the new bill, they only seem to know half of the story and focus on the liquidation of the board if the bill does not go through, they no nothing of conflict of interest and points collecting to be able to get a licence, I say let them go broke, get rid of them and appoint a new board who can manage the `issue of licences` more economically. Has anyone bothered to look into what the board actually do? Presumably they have an office full of workers doing what? What do they need $5million for? It just beggars belief that it could cost that much to run an office, I reckon they must all sit around twiddling their fingers until they can find someone doing some `illegal plumbing` then it’s all hands to the pump to rake in some funds, cheers   

Robbo - Select Committee meets today - there is 45 minutes of speakers - that is three speakers at 15 minutes each.  The Committee are only accepting three submissions which were invited from what I can gather.  Anyone else who has sent anything in will have it tabled as "correspondence" as the Committee were not inviting public submissions on this subject.  This in itself is challengeable given that we are meant to be living in a democracy.  My understanding is that the committee will treat the "correspondence" as if it were a submission.  The Select Committee have ONE DAY to get the background on the Amendment Bill, hear the submissions of the three organisations (The Federation and presumably Master Plumbers and the PGDB), read the "correspondence" and make a decision.  I think Mr Williamson wants the whole thing done and dusted within the week - and then the real fight will start. 

I hope there are good numbers to hear the speakers today - this part is open to the public.

Rule to use mate is if you don't agree with him or his little gang the Board, you are wrong.....no matter what your qualifications.

I didn't realise how far up his own arse his head was until Jax summed up the total amount of organisations that had got it all wrong in Maurice's eyes.

Please see attached the Board's policy on consultation with the industry and its policy on rooting out corruption.
