Most of the conversation about Australia’s fuel security focuses on barrels, reserves, and refineries. How many days of supply we hold. How exposed we are to global shipping routes.

  If you’re running a construction business in Melbourne, you already know the problems rising, it’s goes a little like this:  You post a role, you wait, and the applications either don’t come or don’t stack up.
