Checkpoint Charlie
“Walls and checkpoints are apt metaphors for the barriers which Australian governments have erected – and continue to maintain – which exclude the young unemployed from the experience of work. They were erected in the name of an ideology just as blinkered to the best interests of the people they were said to be “protecting”. It is time they too were torn down.”
Trades Training for a New Generation
“If we’re serious about addressing the problem of trade shortages then we need to engage in a serious discussion about the future of trades training in Australia. A radical change in the way people who work in the housing industry are recruited and trained is necessary if skills shortages are to be addressed and if the capacity of our young people is to be fully realised.”
