Big Housing Build Should = Local Jobs
.png)
Victoria is spending billions building housing and infrastructure. That money should create Victorian manufacturing jobs.
But too many government projects use imported furniture, cabinetry, joinery, prefab components, timber, windows, doors, carpet, workwear and other manufactured products.
Victorian workers can make these products here.
Why is this important?
The Victorian Government has the power to require publicly funded projects to use more locally made products. We call on it to use that power and back Victorian workers.
Spending public money locally supports local factories, creates jobs, trains apprentices and strengthens our supply chains.
PUBLIC MONEY SHOULD SUPPORT VICTORIAN JOBS.
BUILD HOUSING. EMPLOY VICTORIANS.
