What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Coalition plan proposes fast-tracking Victorian high school students into apprenticeships while they complete their studies, aimed at addressing shortages in the construction industry. Premier Ben Carroll also promised that his government would invest all royalties from critical minerals—estimated at $500 million over four years—into regional areas. Opposition Leader Jess Wilson pledged to revive full-time technical colleges for students in years 10 to 12 if the Coalition loses the election.
