President’s ReportThe focus of this edition of the PTEU Journal is the Victorian State Electionon November 29, an election that is a vitally important one for Labor to win.With the Abbott Government in power at Federal level, workers’ entitlementsand the Labor movement as a whole has been under attack for more thana year. Abbott has attacked the movement through the Royal Commissionand we fully expect his attacks on workers’ rights and entitlements willcontinue in 2015. We have also had four years of a Coalition Governmentin Victoria, a Government that has ignored - and shown that it doesn’tunderstand - our industry.In this Journal the Secretary and the Assistant Secretary will outline exactlywhy it is vital for our industry that Labor wins in Victoria on November 29.If Napthine is returned, they will attack our Licensing and Registration thatprotects our industry and our future in their blind pursuit of ideology. Wemust do all we can to prevent this happening.All Victorian working people and their families need Daniel Andrews andhis team to win Office in Victoria, but for our industry it is crucial. MinisterGuy and Premier Napthine have refused to listen to our industry. Underthe Coalition Government the Plumbing Industry Commission has beenabsorbed into the Victorian Building Authority, which doesn’t even havea plumbing industry representative on its Board. Under the Libs, theregulation of the industry, especially inspection and auditing, has not beenadequately resourced or well managed, putting at risk the integrity of theindustry and the health of the public.The Libs simply don’t understand the fundamental importance of ourindustry and it’s time they made way for a Party that does. Labor.Aside from the election, I want to draw members’ attention to an articlein this edition by Industrial Officer Paul Coffey about the importance ofchecking on your entitlements – Superannuation, Retirement, Long Serviceetc. As Paul explains at page 33, the construction industry is the worstoffender in terms of compliance with compulsory super payments thatrequire employers to pay 9.5 per cent each week to employees. To makeit easier than ever to check and track your payments, C-Bus has a newi-phone app that I encourage all members to download.I also encourage all members and their families to get behind our industrythis November and vote for your local Labor candidate – the guide can befound in the centre of this Journal.I wish you all a very happy and safe Christmas and all the best for 2015.Nazza OttobrePTEU President2PLUMBING TRADES EMPLOYEES UNION JOURNAL www.pteu.asn.au

Secretary’s ReportThe State Election coming up on November 29 is a vitally important one for Victoria,which has gone backwards and is grinding to a halt under the Liberals.Every week, we get dozens of calls from members who are out of work, whichis no surprise given unemployment in Victoria is now the highest of any mainlandState and an extra 68,000 people are looking for jobs. Hundreds of them are PTEUmembers. It’s a tragedy for them, their families and our State.People scratch their heads and wonder how it all could have gone so wrong, soquickly. The facts are, this government hasn’t managed to build a single project.They haven’t managed to deliver one project and we shouldn’t believe they cannow. They’ve had four years of sitting on their hands and five minutes of panic.Instead of building a better State for all of us, what they are trying to do is to drivedown wages and de-skill our profession. The same mob who gutted TAFE hasshown again they don’t care about skilled trades by proposing to open up roofing.Roofing has become a more vital part of the trade in recent years, with the growth ingrey water alongside domestic supply. What’s more, working on a roof carries some pretty big risks for both the tradespeopleperforming the work as well as consumers. We don’t need the trade or training fragmented, especially when unemployment hasbeen spiralling up.Instead of creating jobs by investing in some vital projects, the Liberals want to break up the trade so a few employers can getcheaper labour. The government’s not only incompetent, they’ve just got the wrong priorities.We need a Labor Government to get the State growing again, create jobs and stand up to Tony Abbott, who’s on his own crazycrusade to break up the industry. Abbott’s review of the Watermark product certification scheme shows again that the FederalCoalition have no idea how the industry fits together.The WaterMark scheme is a key part of the regulatory framework that supports our industry and protects the community. Thescheme ensures that the 5B plumbing product industry is regulated and that only products that are fit for purpose enter themarket. Unwinding or watering down this scheme will mean plumbers have to play safety police, checking the safety of inferiorproducts which will pose a threat to community health. The State Government has just sat by and watched this happen, muchlike they watched unemployment climb.What I know is that Daniel Andrews will invest in TAFE, protect skilled trades and get the economy growing again. And he’ll standup to Tony Abbott when we need him to.That’s why, this election, we’re recommending a vote for Labor.This issue also contains the usual range of interesting industry stories and updates, workplace safety information, and Unionnews. Also in this edition is a very positive story about the development by the PTEU in conjunction with the Master Plumbers ofa Certificate III plumbing apprenticeship training course to be delivered at our Brunswick training centre, the Plumbing IndustryClimate Action Centre (PICAC). A great example of this great industry working together to design, develop and deliver industrybased training.In this the last edition before Christmas, we recognise that for many in our ranks, a growing number in fact, Christmas can be anemotionally difficult time. If you or one of your mates is dealing with family or relationship breakdown, the most important thing toremember is you are not alone.

Assistant Secretary’s ReportThe November State poll could be one of the most significant elections in decadesfor the Victorian Plumbing industry. As the Secretary explains in his Report, sincethe Liberal National Party has been in government the Victorian pluming sector hasbeen under appreciated, under-valued, under represented on the VBA, and nowunder attack.The LNP Government has been demonstrating for some time now that it justdoesn’t understand the importance of the Plumbing Industry. In 2013 the Buildingand Plumbing Commissions were scrapped and rolled in the Victorian BuildingAuthority. Rather than improving the effectiveness of the regulation of the sector,things have gone from bad to worse, with the VBA treating the plumbing professionlike the poor cousin of the building industry. Despite extensive industry pressure,the government has refused to appoint a plumber or plumbing industry expert tothe Board. The Board has found room for architects, lawyers and public servants,but not a plumber. So we now have a situation where the plumbers are tippingin millions of dollars each year to the VBA, through Registrations and ComplianceCertificates, and getting treated like second class citizens in return.As an industry we need to make the VBA accountable for how they are spending the hard earned funds the plumbing industrygenerates. It is quite astonishing that in an atmosphere where the Labor movement as a whole is under attack at the politicallymotivated circus that is the Royal Commission into alleged corrupt practices in Trade Unions, appalling practices by our industryregulator unearthed by the Ombudsman and the Auditor General seem to go virtually unnoticed.Whilst conservative politicians and commentators tee off at every opportunity with outrageous claims about alleged corruptionin the union movement, our industry is the victim of appalling governance at the highest levels of the very Authority charged withregulating our industry.After scathing reports from first the Auditor General and then the Ombudsman, back in 2011 and 2012 respectively, theGovernment replaced the Building and Plumbing Commissions with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA). The Ombudsmanwas heavily critical of the poor performance and maladministration of the Building Commission under former CommissionerTony Arnel and after he resigned appointed a new Commissioner, Michael Kefford.That was in 2012, and on Commissioner Kefford’s watch things went from bad to worse. He was himself caught up in a majorprobity scandal which potentially jeopardised the integrity of the plumbing audit and inspection system. The allegation is thatMr Kefford awarded a 10 million contract to a firm part-owned by his friend and former business associate, despite his ownexpert panel advising against the move. Former Commissioner Kefford awarded Casey Inspection Services Pty Ltd the lucrativecontract to provide plumbing audits and inspections across the state.This was despite the fact senior commission executives twice recommended that two other firms, Lend Lease Infrastructureand Techsafe Australia, be awarded the contract ahead of Casey Inspection Services. It was also revealed last year that not onlydid he award the audit contract to his mate, Mr Kefford was also a Director of the company Iapmo R&T Oceania Pty Ltd, whichsub-let space in its Burwood office to Casey Inspection Services between 2010 and 2012.This has all occurred on the Lib’s watch and we think there needs to be a full and transparent inquiry into this fiasco. A robust,reliable, transparent and well resourced audit and inspection system is vital for our industry and vital for public health. The VBAis letting the plumbing industry and the community down.If the Government is returned our industry will be facing a real battle. The Libs don’t understand our industry, and have shownthat they are willing to sacrifice our industry and compromise public health by driving an ideological deregulatory agenda. At atime when as an industry and a community we are relying more than ever on our regulatory framework - our qualifications andcompetency structures, our licensing and registration, and our inspection and audit systems to protect our jobs and the heathof the community, the Libs are looking to tear it down.Don’t let them.

Remembering thosewho died in the West Gate Bridge collapseOn the 15 October every year since1970, families, friends and workmatesof the 35 dead and 18 injured workersgather at the site to remember them.The West Gate Bridge spans the 2.5 kms of Yarra river separatingMelbourne’s western suburbs from the CBD. It is one of Australia’sbiggest cable-stayed girder bridges and is used by 160,000 vehiclesdaily. With its distinctive curving shape, the West Gate is instantlyrecognisable as one of the city’s iconic structures, but sadly, it is alsothe monument to Australia’s worst industrial accident.Just before lunch on 15 October 1970, the West Gate Bridge suddenlygroaned. An eerie pinging noise filled the air. A storm of rust flakespeeled off weathered steel and the girders started to turn blue. Thebridge fell away beneath their feet and minutes later, 35 workers weredead.A whole 2,000-ton mass plummeted into the Yarra mud with anexplosion of gas, dust and mangled metal that shook buildings hundreds of yards away. The roar of the impact, theexplosion and the fire that followed could be heard more than two miles away.There is a plaque beneath the bridge, paid for and erected by fellow workers of the victims. It was unveiled on 15October 1978.7PLUMBING TRADES EMPLOYEES UNION JOURNAL www.pteu.asn.au
