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 clearly, the more significant concern is the long-term movement capabilities of the trade workers.
We believe these are sectors that are ready for restructuring.
