Treasurer Jim Chalmers says Australia needs to “skill people up” after it was announced Labor and the national cabinet had come to a “landmark skills agreement".
“We are investing in the skills people need to find a good job in the workforce that Australia needs to build a better future,” Mr Chalmers said during parliamentary Question Time on Tuesday.“Australians are doing it tough, we are providing cost of living help, we are skilling Australians up for great jobs, we are getting wages moving again.
“We are getting the budget in much better nick and in the process … we are cleaning up the mess that those opposite left behind.”
