\nScott Morrison created this tradie crisis.\u00a0 It\u2019s hurting our economy, and denying Australians jobs.
\nAs a result, we now have shortages of bricklayers, plumbers, hairdressers, bakers, electricians, mechanics, panelbeaters, and other critical trades.
\nNo part of Australia is safe.\u00a0 Every state and territory has lost apprentices and trainees.

\nWe\u2019ve had many businesses, big and small, tell us that they\u2019d love to grow, to take on more staff, but that they can\u2019t find people with the right training.
\nIn fact, the Australian Industry Group says 75 per cent of businesses report they are struggling to find the qualified workers they need.
\nAt the same time, there are almost two million Australians crying out for work or looking for more hours.
\nScott Morrison\u2019s failure is criminal.
\nThe Liberals have cut around $3 billion from TAFE and training.
\nAustralia has fewer apprentices and trainees today than when the Liberals first came to office.
\nThere are more people dropping out of vocational education and training courses than finishing them.
\nBy locking Australians out of education and training, the Liberals are locking Australians out of jobs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
