Labor backbencher Craig Emerson says students who want to pursue a trade should wait until they have finished school or undertake a school-based apprenticeship. MBA chief executive David Dawes says the move would be positive for all industries seeking apprentices. "The great advantage of them going to year 12 is that they are more mature and they are able to tackle the issues of getting to and from work, and that's an important issue," he said. "But also working on site in the building construction industry in a mature manner." Mr Dawes says more students finishing year 12, means more young people can become apprentices. He says the move will bring other jurisdictions in line with the ACT, which is leading the nation with school-based apprenticeships "We have in the order of 120 young people coming though our school-based program here in the territory, which is quite a healthy number," he said.

Around 5:30 a.m. Doug Lovell and Karen Schmidt quietly prepared their driveway for a garage sale just before police cars roared down their street and set up a barricade 50 feet from their home.
An armed neighbor, later identified as John Mancini, 51, had allegedly secluded himself inside his house, threatening to shoot police Friday morning. The incident caused the evacuation of several families in the Ashton Ranch housing development.
Lovell and Schmidt, recently engaged, said they had welcomed Mancini's family members into their home. They allowed his ex-wife and girlfriend, now pregnant, to use the computer in the couple's master bedroom, Schmidt said. .
