🚨 In today’s Daily Telegraph 📰

Master Plumbers NSW - MPA NSW CEO Nathaniel Smith has issued a strong warning that the Federal Government’s proposed family trust tax changes could make Australia’s housing crisis even worse. 🏠⚠️

Tradies are the people building the homes Australia desperately needs. Hitting family-run trade businesses with higher taxes means less investment, fewer apprentices, fewer tradies and ultimately fewer homes.

💬 “If Canberra is serious about increasing housing supply, it needs to stop making life harder for the people who actually build those homes.”

📖 Read Nathaniel’s opinion piece and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

🇦🇺 Train Australians First.

The best long-term solution to Australia’s skills shortage isn’t to rely on more overseas recruitment; it’s to back Australian apprentices and the businesses willing to train them.

Click the link below to hear Master Plumbers NSW - MPA NSW CEO Nathaniel Smith in an interview with James Willis on 2GB Sydney, where our CEO discusses why governments should prioritise giving employers meaningful incentives and tax breaks to take on apprentices.

If we want a stronger economy, more homes built, and a skilled workforce for the future, we need to invest in Australians first.

Train Australians Before Importing More Migrant Workers

Australia's skills shortage won't be solved by relying solely on skilled migration.

In his latest opinion piece, Master Plumbers Association NSW CEO Nathaniel Smith argues that while migration has an important role, the real long-term solution is investing in Australian apprentices and supporting the businesses that train them.

Every apprentice we train today strengthens our workforce for decades to come.

It's time to stop importing yesterday's solution and start investing in tomorrow's workforce.
