@johnquiggin A lot of being a Tradie is knowing your trade’s Australian Building Code and Standards inside out, back to front, upside down and right side up. That comes from well run TAFE courses and apprenticing in a Building Culture that upholds construction standards. Migration won’t fix the loss of cultural norms deconstructing the Apprentice System, privatizing Australian Standards, privatizing Building Certification, and effectively privatizing State Works Departments has caused.
