Well there you go. Probably thanks to a plumbing lobby. Lucky we moved out of WA.

A lot of laws can be interpreted as reccomendations :)

I went as far as to look up the last ‘consultation’ on this, and yep, all down to the plumbing lobby, expressing their horror that the general public could be ripped off, scammed even, by unqualified “handymen”, so it must remain illegal to do even the basics if you’re unqualified, even on your own house.

Total rort.
