Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has pushed this blueprint which aims to achieve increased manufacturing by focusing on what has caused Australia’s de-industrialisation. “The last ten years has seen our manufacturing sector decline precipitously … it’s because our energy costs have gone through the roof, they’ve gone up 91 per cent for Australian manufacturers,” he said. “And it’s because we’ve seen other countries disregard international trading rules”.
He said the lack of cheap energy in Australia has sped up the massive decline in manufacturing in Australia. The National Party’s new blueprint will include an ambitious target of creating 800,000 new jobs in manufacturing on the back of a new coal fired power plant in the Hunter Valley.
The Nationals couldn’t run a circus let alone an industry
More coal, isn’t a blueprint for manufacturing. The decline in Australian manufacturing isn’t due to rising energy costs. This article says nothing, they’re not even trying
We'll have to manufacture more when these dopes escalate the trade war with China...people are going to love paying those high prices....especially people in the country who already pay through the nose for goods.
Do the Nationals want to flood the country with cheap labor pools to achieve the plan? eg The Weekly Times has demanded foreign labor for farms and posts those demands more than twice daily..The last people u would trust on manufacturing is the Nationals disguised as Liberals!!
FreeTradeAgreements you COCKWOMBLEs remember them .
Tha Nationals 😂😂😂 Ah, that's a good one. 👍
This is about one of the smartest things I’ve heard from a politician in a damn long time. Let’s support the Nationals with the push. scomo and the Libs need to get behind this 💯
We need base load power. Don't care what the left say. Wind and Solar are not the answer. Coal, Hydro, Gas, Nuclear. This country can't survive unless we have the above.
Australia’s Covid19 ‘success’... While Auspol allow themselves homequarantine, 100,000 StrandedAussies are locked out & left to DIE abroad. Many without visas, money, shelter, food & suicidal. HotelQ is unsafe, unsatisfactory, unworkable and unnecessary. removethecap
The hayseeds really hate farmers.
