sadly i cant see any waiting in the wings. maybe a Clive Palmer big ideas not sure how well they work but he is listed as a billionaire and could incoroperate his titanic 2.0 in his campaign advertising and use to wine and dine forigin investors
I think Fat Clive already wines and dines that lot from Asia consistently, of course to his benefit only.
 
There are a couple in the lower ranks with the right ideas, but not necessarily Javier's aplomb.

Perhaps some gifting of chainsaws might be inspiring?
 

Just what we needed to assist with inflation. More government handouts to buy votes.

10,000 bucks isn't going to go very far. Just move to WA and negotiate a $10,000 signing bonus with a mining company and you'll be fine.

"Right now, a first-year carpentry apprentice earns about two-thirds of the minimum wage … As a number have said, they could earn a lot more stacking shelves in their local supermarket," he will say, according to an excerpt of his speech released to media.

Cool story Albo.... I earned 0% of the minimum wage as a university student for 4 years. Should I have dropped out and gone to stack shelves as well? It's called investing... you take a hit when you're 18 years old to benefit you when you're older.
 

Are the punters dumb enough to think this is good economics? Does this win votes? I bloody hope not. It's not as bad as the Greens calling for 'free everything', but it's not far off. Socialist government money does grow on trees I suppose.
 
The current vacancy rate in perth is less than some 1% for a dwelling. So were on earth will they live
Also with the million plus of migrants Albo let in over the past 2 years some .6% work in or have the correct skill to work in construction

All albo has done is create the mess and throw band aid solutions virtue signaling like he is fixing the problem for election votes

Good old socialist math, economic, politics and IQ right there
 
And your solution is?
 
Stop the Ponzi scheme of unchecked migration and go back to the original migration scheme of skilled visas.

Of all the faults of how usless and unaccountable the LNP are they aren’t as bad as the AlP when it comes to migration
That's a long term solution but there is still a shortage of tradies to build housing for the current population, so we either train more here and give them a financial incentive to stay in the industry until they get established or bring in skilled workers from OS further adding to demand.
 
there has been a trade shortage for the past 15 years ever since the most of the tafe collages were closed and traded sunned on by society & students told to head to uni and complete an arts degree or a medical gender studies degree and become an activist

as a trades men, there is little career progression or wage progression why would a person want to stay a tradie

Exactly, hence the PM's announcement today. I don't know if it will have much effect, but it's better than doing nothing.

Also, what tradies we do have are working on big infrastructure projects so there are less of them available for housing construction.

If some of our indigenous friends had any gumption they would snap up these apprenticeship opportunities, it must be better than sitting on their backsides all day, or stealing cars,
