Over this period, the Health Surveyors’ Association/the Health and Building Surveyors’ Association published twenty tabloid newspapers and in the last years cheekily added under the masthead “Local Government’s Most Unruly Tabloid”.

Ancient stuff: councils attacking qualification; our smoke-free environment campaign in July 1986 launched by the Minister for the Environment in the Wran Labor Government, Bob Carr, that lead to smoke-free councils; what was stressing health and building surveyors in 1986; members on strike at Sydney, Parramatta and, in November 1992, nearly everywhere; privatisation; private certification; new Local Government Act and Minister sacked; doing it for nothing (a problem then, as now); Craig Knowles’ plan to end Council building control; an offer you can't refuse; No Dodgies in NSW, and more!
