tor LAMBIE () (): Don't worry, I'm coming for the Tasmanian state government over this. Due to significant cuts by the previous government, Australia has lost the capacity to train apprentices. We all know that. Every year we've had fewer and fewer apprentices entering the workforce. Electrical apprentices in Tasmania are practising wiring equipment that isn't up to code. How does this government hope to achieve its housing policy and build much-needed homes in Tasmania with so few apprentices in the construction industry?
