‘I didn't know I could be a tradie, being a girl': the night that changed everything for Maddison
Maddison Daly was good at maths and physics at school, but there was one thing she wishes she had known. 'I always wanted to do a trade and, it sounds silly, but I didn't know that I could, being a girl,' she said. In the years after leaving school, she worked at McDonald's, where 'they pay you peanuts and you definitely have to work for it'. She enrolled in a business degree at university before dropping out and taking a job as a manager at Coles. Then, at 25, she had an epiphany. 'One night I was actually scrolling Instagram and I saw a lady carpenter and I went down that rabbit hole and found all these girls online who were in a trade and I was like, 'Wow, I can actually do it'.' She is now in her third year of a Certificate III to become a qualified electrotech electrician. The NSW government is planning an overhaul of the state's apprenticeship system in a bid to address the chronic skills shortage and attract more people into trades. There is also an alarmingly high drop-out rate, with figures showing that only half of those who start an apprenticeship finish it. A review of existing legislation will seek to increase completion rates, and better align training with workforce needs, particularly in high-demand sectors such as construction, tech, care and clean energy. Apprentices, trainees, employers and training providers are being asked to share their experiences of the system in a survey from Thursday. NSW Skills Minister Steve Whan said the review is about making apprenticeships and traineeships work better for students, employers, and training providers.

A $900,000 offer after 28 matches. The NRL's latest Rugby360 target revealed
South Sydney utility Jye Gray has emerged as a surprise target for breakaway rugby competition Rugby360. R360 organisers are attempting to secure enough players to trigger the next rollout of private equity funds to ensure the concept gets off the ground. While the focus remains on signing established rugby union stars, a handful of NRL players considered capable of making a code switch have also been targeted. One of them is Gray. In some respects, he is a departure from the NRL names previously linked to R360 - including Ryan Papenhuyzen, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Zac Lomax and Herbie Farnworth - given he hasn't yet achieved marquee status in rugby league. However, Gray, who has played just 28 NRL matches and comes off contract at the Rabbitohs at the end of 2026, has a history in the 15-man code. He made his mark in rugby during three years at The Southport School, a prestigious GPS school on the Gold Coast. A potential 2027 start for Gray in R360 has been floated. The school's former coach, Mike Wallace, rated Gray among the best players he had overseen during his long association with the school, and the Queensland Reds expressed interest in Gray. Sources speaking on the condition of anonymity due to confidentiality said that R360 was prepared to offer Gray $US600,000 (A$920,000) to commit to the start-up competition. There has been speculation that R360 could be based in a tax-free state such as Dubai, which could make it even more financially lucrative for those considering joining. The Rabbitohs, who on Wednesday granted Englishman Lewis Dodd permission to seek a new contract elsewhere, and Gray's manager were contacted for comment.
