The forgotten small business: the tradie.
Whilst politicians scramble to get re-elected, builders attempt to increase their female participation and developers do deals to make money … everyone has forgotten the people who actually build.

The Daily Telegraph – Minns could teach the PM a bit about women
The federal Labor government’s apparent disregard for small businesses, particularly women-owned businesses, has become increasingly evident.
Women comprise one-third of small businesses, a significant number considering small businesses make up 97% of all businesses in Australia, yet none were allowed to participate in the $60 million dollar Building Women’s Careers tender. This oversight contradicts the government's commitment to women's economic security, undermining the principles of International Women's Day.
In contrast, the NSW Government is taking concrete steps to address the problem, ensuring that women-owned businesses are not just casually mentioned in tenders but are actively involved throughout the contract process. They’re also breaking down tenders to make them more accessible to small businesses—something the federal government should have done long ago.
