A bit of a political rant.
If that were the case I would be overjoyed.
However what will happen is they will leave their massivly too large house full of German appliances, wearing their Italian cloths, get into their Japaneese cars, drive down to the American owned big box store and buy some new piece of Chineese made junk with a Japaneese name on it, then on the way home ring the radio station on their Korean made phone & complain that their freshly graduated child can not get a job & why dosn't the government do some thing about it.
I have to be a mobile mechanic because it would cost me $50,000 to $ 75,000 pa to run a workshop in compulsory government ( all 3 levels ) fees , insurances & tax. And that is if & only if I could get the shop approved working out of a disused farm house which is a 0,00001% chance as it is below the 100 year flood level so will be an enviromental pollution risk should it flood, where as the 20,000 tons of sewage sludge down the road at the top soil blender is apparently not.
Malcom Frazer, who dies last week was our last Prime Minister who was not Rhodes Scholar and actually had some non academic skills (farmer) and could manage something more difficult than changing a light globe.
Thus the government puts zero value of any type of manual / technical skills training.
All of out technical schools are closing down or converting to vitally important courses like accounting, advanced acounting and even more advanced accounting .
Since Prime Minister Keeting ( Rhodes scholar with a 140 IQ ) government has been anti "smoke stack industry", apparently we are all going to be accountants. ( can't Americans add ? )
We still consider a foreigh company buying a local one as an "investment" into this country as if the shareholders of Ford are concerned about the welfare of Australians.
Just to add insult to injury the last budget removed all Commonwealth subsatities towards trade education so now an electrician , plumber, mechanic ,welder , fitter etc will have to find $55,000 to $ 150,000 to pay for their trade course which did not make the news because all of the University graduate journalist gave all the press time to deregulation of university fees, I mean what do we need more of journalist or plumbers ?
Six years ago we bought some mills, lathes & a shaper, only to find we can not even pay to learn how to use them as there are no adult colleges who teach machining and trade school ( TAFE ) will only take us on if we get an apprenticeship . So as I have not touched a lathe or mill since I was 18 it is a long slow self education with lots of broken tool tips and bit of steel flying around the shop ( that does not exist ).
