Any Electricians On Here From NZ

I'm in Australia and am having continuous augments/Debates on another forum as to why NZ homeowners can do electrical work unlicensed on there own home

Here in Australia an unlicensed person cannot do any electrical work at all.

The debate is the in NZ they use the same wiring regulations and since the NZ government allowed the homeowner to do limited electrical work the amount of deaths by electrical accidents have decreased.

The augment on the Australian forum is if this is the case why don't the Australian Government allow the home owner to DIY electrical work

Can someone shed some light on the NZ way of doing things

I didn't even realize they had electricity in New Zealand.

Here in Connecticut (USA) a homeowner can pull a permit to do anything they want on thier own home. They just need to follow the building codes like everyone else.
