ENG.SCA.0002.RED.8 them with overall bending and shear stresses, and then use AS1250 to check that these stresses were not excessive. 40. Where does this fit into: Policy Statement on Building and Construction Building Act 2004 & Regulations Building Code National Standards Guidance Documents? It doesn’t, and it doesn’t have to. It is the engineering, and the subsequent skilled construction that are essential – without them, everything else counts for nothing. 41. I dealt with IPENZ in my previous submission, and will not waste any more time on it. 8
E. Background to the Regulatory Environment ENG.SCA.0002.RED.9 42. Here I shall briefly repeat some of what was stated in my earlier submission, and expand upon it. 43. Historically, NZ structural engineering has suffered from two serious problems. The public’s ignorance of what engineers are, and the importance of what they do (typical of most English speaking countries), and the fact that whereas virtually any part of NZ could be hit by a devastating earthquake at any time, the period between large earthquakes in built up areas is so long that flawed practices are not exposed and proper seismic resistant practices cannot be developed or enforced. 44. Following decades of continuous post-war growth, a sharp decline in the economy in 1967 severely affected the construction industry. I am told that the resulting demand for redundancy payments for carpenters led to changes in the employment of carpenters which had severe ramifications in the following decades. 45. A cycle of booms and busts continued during the 1970’s and early 1980’s, with two oil shocks having a major effect, followed by the Think Big projects. Contractors cannot help themselves from wanting booms, but a boom and bust cycle is the worst thing that can affect a construction industry, and no developed country has been so affected as NZ. One minute there is no work for skilled people, so they leave, next minute, anyone with a pulse is working in the industry. It is a recipe for disaster. 46. Treasury has long been completely staffed by laissez faire economic loons whose economic theories are detached from all reality, and don’t even work in theory. Unfortunately, they have been given free rein by successive Labour and National led Governments, to the point where Treasury has caused at the very least one third of a trillion dollars of damage to the New Zealand economy. Treasury has devastated the productive and skill base of this country, none more so than in the massive and vitally important building and construction industry. 47. For the following, I am indebted to Tom McRae, a 91 year old true gentleman who is near death, but I hope he hangs on long enough to read and hear this. 48. In May 1983, Treasury began a ‘Review of Planning and Building Controls,’ investigating an industry about which it knew nothing, knows nothing, and cares to know nothing. (Refer Appendix 5). 49. This review included such gems as: “If a person wished to design an unusual residence, e.g. with bedrooms connected by one metre diameter tubes ......., should he be prevented from doing so?” “If a building owner desired to alter the interior of his residence by removing bearing partitions to the danger of himself and his family in the next storm, should he be prevented from doing so by the by-laws which say he cannot without a permit? At present he is prevented from doing anything to a partition, whether bearing or not, unless he has a permit to do so. His castle is not his own.” 50. They are lunatics. But not only were the lunatics let loose, they have been running the asylum ever since. 9
