It’s National Donut Day! 🍩🍩🍩 Strawberry or chocolate-coated, cinnamon or filled, I don’t discriminate. So here’s your mission for the day: get out and buy 2. One for you, and one for someone who doesn’t have a sweet tooth. Support your local bakery, treat yourself.

I left school at 15 to start my apprenticeship to become a fitter and turner, so I know what it’s like living off apprenticeship wages, and I don’t need to tell you, it’s rough. That’s why we’re doubling the support payments to $10K for apprentices in the building industry. Good news for tradies.
