The new draconian Licensed Building Practitioner regime being introduced by Mr Cosgrove is nothing more than a scheme to protect those responsible for the Leaky Building Syndrome.

Clayton Gosgrove, Building Issues Minister, seems to have overlooked

penalised. Members of Parliament do not need to be Licensed
Practitioners. They are not even required to demonstrate
competence.
