OT: Current Affairs and Politics

Sounds like you will be set to become an even more powerful millionaire. Thanks to Gronk.

Under Dutton my lunches will look like this



Under Albo like this




Time for Albo to step up. Us tradies have been taken advantage of for far to long.

SHOW ME THE MONEY

I might quit my job and take up a trade, just for the lunches

Hey Grappa. Another Negroni.
This one's on Dutton

you will only get Dutton's tax deduction if that is a Negroni Mocktail

There is a trade shortage. Incentives are needed. The problem now is apprentices just aren't getting great training. Most are just getting used as cheap labor.
We are creating an industry where there is zero quality. This is dangerous.
Just importing a heap of immigrants and turning them into trades is making things worse.
I'm contracting on one job currently. I'm also to blame. I ain't teaching foreigners any of my skills. See they don't do apprenticeships. They complete TAFE in their own time and work as labor at $35-$40 an hour so don't have to get the low pay apprentices do. Then use the hours working in the industry as time allocated towards licence.
I teach them how to carry my tools and sweep my mess only. I have No interest in training them. Why so they can under cut me in future? It's one thing I was taught when I was an apprentice. Be selective who you share skills with. Certainly not someone trying to beat the system and make a quick buck

Don't vote liberal then. Time after time immigration goes up under the LNP so they can make labour cheaper in this country for their pals in corporate.

you must support Albo's incentives to get apprentices into building trades...

Albanese to announce $10,000 cash for apprentices who build homes

The election policy will be launched in a National Press Club address on Friday.

LNP immigration policy is to look like tough guys on immigration, let in cheap labour for exploitation and blame anything negative on the ALP/greens

It's a good incentive. But $2,500 a year probably isn't making kids change minds. It's $50 a week. About $35 after tax.
When getting $14hr it isn't doing much

I’m so let down and disgusted by this rort that:

That’s pretty much Labor in NSW done and dusted for me.

And I’m dropping Albo now and will take a more neutral stance.

I’m going to take a mark in the stands.

I voted Albo last time. I'm not sold on Dutton just yet. Reality is my vote won't matter. 90% will vote for their local hero anyhows here.

thought so...

Guess the boss maybe buying you lunch every now and then might get the numbers up

Mins shouldn’t be risking the federal election like this.

A transport minister seemingly cheating on transport… of all things.

Apalling judgment.

$4

The ALP feds need to do the business.

This is a leadership crisis.
