The main reason why we don't get electrical DIY books here in NZ is most likely because we are a fairly small country, and its simply no worth the candle for someone to write one.
There are some things that the DIYer can legally do, and the men from the ministry have attempted to produce a booklet that spells these limits out but I do not think this booklet has a very wide circulation. This is probably due to a traditional mistrust of anything government-produced.
