Pauline Hanson proposes government subsidy for apprenticeships to cut migrant
Pauline Hanson proposes the government pay part of apprentice wages. This would encourage businesses to hire more local workers.
Hanson visited Flip Screen manufacturer in Wagga on September 21. Hanson met apprentices and said Australia relies too much on migrant workers.
"This reliance is wrong," she said. Hanson argues the country has failed to train young Australians.
It must invest in their future prospects. One Nation's scheme has the government pay part of apprentice wages.
This encourages businesses to expand their local workforce. Hanson blamed government rules for destroying regional manufacturing.
She said scrapping the net zero target would remove business barriers.
Why it mattersThe apprenticeship subsidy would change how regional manufacturers hire workers. It would also show a shift in One Nation's economic policy.
AustraliaIf adopted, the scheme could redirect manufacturing hiring toward Australian apprentices in regional towns, affecting job pathways and training opportunities.
