14th of August, 2026 is...
the news article um on the australian government's website but it's um australia is investing 85.2 million dollars to fast-track migrants trades people into the workplace to ease critical construction in the housing shortage so we were talking about this last week because um One of your friends does a mechanics job.

They've been kind of fast tracked into a theory only heavy diesel where they don't really get any experience.
And it takes two years of just straight classroom and getting it done.

There's a whole bunch of certs that are all kind of the same.
Yeah.
But yeah.

Yeah.
Fast-tracking things just doesn't make any sense in my mind.
I have a list of things we can get into later about things that like if we fast-tracked other things.

I did it in three.
Yeah.
