The first of National election promises

[harm_less]

A move back to hiring experts and tradies as staff would be better, but would be very difficult to implement now that we are so far down the rabbit hole.

There's also the age old saying that 'those than can do, and those that can't teach (or work for the council)' in terms of tradies moving away from their hands-on work. The tradies who take on such roles are often those that lack the skills to work in their respective trade, or are too old to still be on the tools.
