Usually it's hard to get any traction with Australians politically. This must have tapped into an previously unknown voting bloc, the pissed off building sector demographic.

Hell it pisses me off and I'm not even Australian, I've never even visited, this kind of thing just pisses me off in general. Obviously I'm not eligible to sign the petition anyway though.
Black Phoenix:
I'm not Australian so I'm not elegible for but I would sight without batting an eye since I know very well how in EU it works and it's the same. Want the documents? You have to pay.
Eric L.:
I would love to sign, but as I am from Europe I am not eligible. However, I fully support this petition and hope for positive outcome.
Ed.Kloonk:
Whilst I support the idea in principle, the fear is this information enables the idiots. The AS3000 is good in that they do fill the volume with explanation on why the changes were necessary (for obvious reasons). It's only a select few not directly requiring access to the standard all the time can comprehend the information.
The Plumbing/drainage one is problematic because the tome doesn't teach you about the basics of bacteria protection. Just how to prevent it. If you need these standards for a once off, then you should be hiring someone who has paid for the access and therefore probably more in a position to advise you.

Had a licensed electrician fit a circuit breaker to a final subcircuit on a meter board they were replacing. The original board was from the '80s. The board contained the electrical meters, circuits for townhouses, and circuits for common property lighting and GPOs.
Access to the wiring standards would have been really handy.
