Children badly injured when crib wall collapses ADRIAN MALLOCH/The Daily News, NZ
While it was unknown whether the concrete block retaining wall, topped by several rows of decorative concrete blocks, was built by professionals, the accident has implications for all home handymen.
'That wall collapse, whether it was built under this building act or earlier legislation, reinforces why authorities are looking at having home handymen's work supervised or approved by a tradesman to stop that sort of accident occurring in the future.
'It's part of the New Zealand do-it-yourself ethos that occasionally comes back and tragically injures people.'
