The No8 wire in many instances gets firmly entangled in the rafts of hefty labour costs
and other suffocating bureaucracy multiplying at an alarming rate around victims,
surrounded by the myriad of weird & wonderful H&S nonsense policed by a tribe
of bureaucrats so experienced, one has to wonder at times if they've ever spent
much time on any real workplace floor possess any creative bones .. ;)
Get it badly wrong and the bus tickets dished out by the learned judiciary in many
an instance for infringement can be near terminal to many smaller enterprises .. ;)
End result = much of the creativity moving towards wider scale production migrates
off to more industrial friendly & lower cost destinations with less excessively overbearing
bureaucracy abounding here ..
and we wonder why what we have been known for in NZ previously seemingly is looking like
it will be headed towards extinction..
Anyone looked at recent fortunes & ownership of Pacific Aerospace in the Waikato ?
If it's any good to absolutely marvellous - it gets migrated nuts bolts & washers intact off overseas,
gets bought out and / or becomes destined an add-on in some foreign company or suffers some other
demise like roughly similar technology or process elsewhere taking over in the same space & eventually
overwhelming the limited local operations on our shores..
Such is today's competitive, if not greedy world stage.. with so many imitation bureaucrats running
around pretending they know best .. usually only finding new ways to clip the ticket delivering further
hindrances and excuses to extract even more levies taxes & fees from the job ;)
not to forget another band of backwards thinking political causes not stopping to think which way
prospect of a meaningful forward direction is ..
Case proven yet ? ;)
