Jackie Trad sending 'half a message' with re-skill push | Sky News Australia

Queensland's Deputy Premier Jackie Trad says those in the coal industry should look to 're-skill' for future jobs amid a global coal backlash. Ms Trad told state parliament on Tuesday that it was time to help thermal coal-dependent communities move away from the industry amid a decline in demand.

The Courier Mail's National Political Editor Renee Viellaris told Sky News that 'there isn't these swathe of jobs opportunities in Central Queensland' for workers to turn to should they look to 're-skill'. Ms Viellaris added that Ms Trad was sending 'half a message' and the Labor Treasurer needed to clarify the areas she expected workers to develop new skills in.

jackietrad Jackie doesn't know that the demand for power is growing not shrinking ? Maybe her house hold is operating with candles and an abacus to lessen the load on the grid 😂

jackietrad More & more traditional labouring jobs in the industry are disappearing because of tech advances & automation etc regardless. its a filthy bloody work environment that is killing them anyhow. They end up with black lung & or all sorts of nasty conditions.

jackietrad It's time Jackie gets the sack and looks for a real job.

jackietrad You are a Saint.. 😀 Not 😡😡😡
