just backward but, critically, employing a vast workforce who contribute so shockingly little to the country's real per-capita productivity and earning power as to be shameful.

So, do you think that a couple of jokers in black singlets and too-tight

shorts plus attack dog and transistor radio, taking months on end to tack together yet another upholstered garden shed, still cuts it in the 21st century?

It's obvious from the above that Keith has never had anything built in NZ, nor does he have any knowledge whatsoever of permits, producer statements or code of compliance certificates.

He also seems to be ignorant* of the fact their are several
manufacturers of high-tech modular houses in New Zealand already.

Pooh

And it's evident that he has no experience of the building trade.
But then that's work. Employment.

an internet connection

They jokers in black singlets are not the problem. Local councils and government are the greatest impedance to building houses with their
obstrucive zoning restrictions and the nonsense that is the Resource
Management Act
