Tradie reveals six-figure salary of job with ‘no shortage of work’

Published

ACanadian expat who earns up to $120,000 a year as a heavy machine operator in Australia has said there is ‘no shortage of work’ in his industry.

The tradie said there were no qualifications to operate heavy machinery in Canada during an interview with job-matching app Getahead.

‘Here [in Australia] you need a bunch of tickets to be able to operate everything. When I got to Australia it took me about a month to get all my certifications and then I was good to go,’ he said.

The tradie ran his own construction business in Canada but sold it so that he could move to Australia and enjoy a warmer climate.

He plans to obtain his permanent residency and start his own business in Australia.

The tradie said construction is a great industry for Aussies ‘if you like to work with your hands’ and be challenged on the job.

He added there was no shortage of work and that tradies ‘will always be employed’.

More than 1.3million Aussies are employed in the construction industry and earn a median weekly wage of $1,598, according to figures by Jobs and Skills Australia.

Australia needs around 130,000 workers over five years to join the industry to meet current infrastructure demand according to Master Builders Australia.

The nation’s peak building and construction association said productivity has declined 18 per cent across the industry over the last decade.

Master Builder’s CEO Denita Wawn said the issue is putting more pressure on workers and employers and urged the government to increase skilled migration and provide better support for apprentices.

‘It will require a holistic approach across federal government portfolios from migration, skills and training through to industrial relations,’ she said.

Australia needs 90,000 workers to meet the government’s ambitious housing target.

In 2023, Labor announced intentions to build 1.2million homes over a five-year period as part of the National Housing Accord.

Around 60,000 new homes will need to be built every quarter to achieve the goal.

“It took me getting married and giving birth to realise marriage benefits men more” — Woman shares emotional thoughts

Published

on

 

A woman has stirred serious conversations online after opening up about how marriage and motherhood changed her perspective on life.

In a heartfelt reflection, she said it was only after getting married and giving birth that she began questioning who marriage truly benefits.

According to her, women often carry the heavier load — emotionally, physically, and mentally.

She explained that marriage can make women feel like tools, responsible for cooking, cleaning, caring for the home, and even contributing financially, while still bearing the full weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.

She questioned why something described as a “blessing” should come with so much pain, stress, sleepless nights, and emotional strain for women.

In her words, childbirth comes with intense pain, followed by years of responsibility that largely fall on the woman, while many men continue life almost unchanged.

She admitted she never strongly pushed for marriage herself and only went along with it after family pressure. It was the lived experience — not theory — that opened her eyes.

While she made it clear that she loves her son deeply and finds joy in him, she said motherhood also forced her to confront uncomfortable truths about expectations placed on women.
