What do real tradies think of 'fake tradie'?

Posted

A Coalition election ad has become the centre of a social media storm after claims the builder in the commercial is in fact an actor.

The "fake tradie" twitter hashtag was trending after the ad aired last night and Labor supporters mocked his stereotypical language, his coffee mug and even what looks like a $7000 watch.

The Government has now confirmed the "fake tradie" is in fact a real tradie, but The Drum went and found some tradies to ask them what they think.
