It was great to have Federal Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Assistant Minister for Productivity & Deregulation with us to hear that the Coalition will prioritise skilled migrants, including skilled construction workers in its migration policy. The shortage of skilled building trades people is a major capacity constraint holding back productivity in our industry and Master Builders is calling for the needs of the construction industry to be given higher priority in the Federal Government's migration system.
Builders value the support from Angus Taylor MP and Senator Maria Kovacic for the thousands of small home building businesses battling with red tape and the impact of high inflation.
