Anthony Albanese will be hoping to get on the front foot policy-wise again today when he announces a new initiative to bolster the construction industry at the National Press Club in Canberra. The prime minister’s plan is to give apprentice tradies an extra $10,000 from a re-elected Labor government in order to encourage more young people to go into the building industry and therefore help meet his home-building targets of 1.2m homes by 2030. We’ll have more of his speech when he makes it at 12.30pm.
