‘Ripe for reform’: Productivity Commission tackles trades workforce issues
Australia’s Productivity Commission Head Danielle Wood says issues specific to the long-term mobility of the trades workforce are “ripe for reform”.
“This has been a very long-term agenda, but it is sort of mad that you have a natural disaster in Queensland, and someone just south of the border in New South Wales can’t go and help and work there,” Ms Wood told Sky News host Ross Greenwood.
“And obviously bigger issue is the kind of long-term mobility of the trades workforce.
“We think those are areas that are ripe for reform.”
