Perhaps if they weren't blocked at every turn it would be a different story

in fairness, their utes/trucks store their work-gear & tools for the job. They cant be parking 500m down the road & running back/forth for tools etc

Their car is their tool; the location of your car whilst working at your office wont impact you other than arriving/leaving times.

I'll agree on that to a point. But plenty of people use a car to fulfill their work obligations and they don't get special treatment

Nope.

Plenty of jobs have "carry stuff" requirements

The utes/trucks may be used as a mobile workstation for welding/cutting/fabrication along with storage of tools.

Yes, people may use cars to fulfil their work obligations, but if it involves anything more than the above then they should also get a permit.

Then basically everyone will make a case for a permit fact is suck it up flogs don't park illegally.

everoyne would expect to see an LS1 under there.

you should let the engine do all the work and get T51 just for the street cred and to have a chance of being photo'd when near a 34GTR

an electrician with a victorian licence cant do electrical work in WA or QLD without going through their hoops and licensing process.

I highly doubt foreign electricians to be granted work visas and to just magically get jobs (legally) when:

a) there is a work shortage with many in the electrical industry looking for work

b) immigration has tightened up like a ducks butt since 2011-2012

c) the companies with the power/cash to do 451 visas would most likely not risk hiring people with questionable skills and knowledge. (especially blue collar workers)

regarding unsafe cabling and installs in houses... home owners agree to it because they dont want to pay the extra for a proper job. someone beats a quote by a few thousand dollars and most people dont think twice about it.

Who do you think you are telling these experts what's what?

How much more is my mocha chai latte going to cost if this new tax comes in?
