Given what I've seen on the roads and on dashcams Australia some extra driver training wouldn't go astray either.

Why do politicians always jump at opportunity to promote being photographed with Blaks only in the context of Labourers and unskilled workers?

or domestics? ☝️This is what a colonial mindset look like.

So relieved that the trades people we need tomorrow are being supported in their choices today. Glad that taxpayer money is going to education, not long lunches.

Real wages for tradies fell 4.5% last year, and housing supply is still behind by 106,000 homes. $10K helps, but it’s nowhere near enough to fix the crisis.

We'll also raise the allowance paid to apprentices who are living away from home.

This is what we mean when we say we are building Australia’s future.

It would have to be a big raise to enable them to live away from home 😯
