The Albanese government's net zero goals will send 'manufacturers to the wall', says Shadow Assistant Manufacturing Minister Andrew Willcox.
Labor's net zero agenda is going to lead to the loss of manufacturing jobs in Australia, Shadow Assistant Minister for Manufacturing Andrew Willcox told Rowan Dean on Sky News. International metals producer Nyrstar has received $135 million bailout package from the federal and state governments to save two smelters, with 8,000 jobs potentially at risk in Port Pirie and Hobart. The World According To Rowan Dean is available to view for subscribers. Join to watch the full episode. The company said the funding would enable it to "maintain its ongoing operations" which require massive amounts of energy. Mr Willcox fears 17,000 jobs could be lost in Queensland if copper refineries shut down. 'So, the copper smelter there (Mount Isa) is looking to be closed down,' Mr Willcox said. 'What that will mean then is the Townsville copper refinery, which is in my electorate, will then close down. 17,000 jobs at risk. 'The by-product of the copper smelter is used in fertiliser as well, and we just don't have enough fertiliser for our farmers in this country. 'So, a massive issue and something needs to be done about ASAP!' Mr Willcox fears smelters will be non-existent if the Albanese government continues with their renewables approach. 'The simple fact of the matter is this renewables-only approach by the Albanese Labor government is not working, it's going to send all our manufacturers to the wall. You can't run a full-time economy on part-time power, it just can't happen,' he said. The Shadow Assistant Minister said he is working on a joint committee with Nationals Senator Matt Canavan and Shadow Energy Minister Dan Tehan to map out the Coalition's official position on net zero. 'We will be bringing a policy forward that will actually work,' he said. 'We've got three years before the next election, but we will have this developed within the next 12 months that we'll put forward, because that's our path back to government.' Rowan Dean told Mr Willcox the solution was simple: "Ban net zero."
