Our skills shortage would not have been that severe if John Howard, in his 12 years in office, had paid more attention to funding for the training of tradesman and other vocations.
Our businesses have been demanding our government to do something about the skills shortage, and this labor government is responding to that. Don't blame Labor for that.
I think you will find that those tradesmen imported from the US will be required to work in areas where they are in demand, not where they choose to live and work.
