I don't know about the others, but we're building about 50% of what we need for Australia's population growth. Neo-liberalism has resulted in decades of de-funding of public education, which trains tradespeople, and now we have a shortage of tradespeople. And we're getting another tax cut in a few weeks so I guess that problem, plus all the others with same cause, is just going to get worse.
