The Albanese Labor Government is Building Australia\u2019s Future with a record $2 billion investment in the Australian-made aluminium industry, securing more well-paid jobs for Australian workers in our regions and suburbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supercharging the local metals industry, a new Green Aluminium Production Credit will provide targeted support to Australian aluminium smelters switching to reliable, renewable electricity before 2036.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Facilities will be eligible for support for every tonne of clean, reliable Australian-made aluminium they make over a period of 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Credit will provide local aluminium smelters with confidence to invest, paving the way for more secure Australian jobs in our world-class aluminium industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Labor\u2019s plan for a Future Made in Australia is very clear: we want Australian workers to make more things here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve got all the ingredients right here for a world-leading metals industry \u2013 from the best solar and wind resources, to the critical minerals and facilities, as well as a highly skilled workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Gladstone to Portland and Bell Bay to Tomago – Australia is already the sixth largest producer of aluminium in the world and we want to see that continue to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Increasingly the world is looking to import clean, reliable metals \u2013 like Australian-made aluminium \u2013 which represents a massive opportunity for growth in a decarbonising global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia\u2019s entire aluminium supply chain is uniquely located on shore – from bauxite mining to finished products, all produced from generations of Aussie know-how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only will this deliver for economic wins for Australia, it will help significantly reduce emissions at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Securing the future of the Australian-made aluminium industry is a direct investment in jobs and skills across the country \u2013 all the way from Central Queensland to Northern Tasmania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is what Building Australia\u2019s Future looks like and only a Labor Government will deliver it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLabor\u2019s plan for a Future Made in Australia is very clear: we want Australia to make more things here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInvesting in the Australian-made aluminium industry is a massive opportunity \u2013 to create well-paid jobs in our regions and suburbs, and set Australia up for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got the resources, the workers, and the know-how \u2013 the only thing we don\u2019t have is time to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are building Australia\u2019s future, not taking Australia backwards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJobs up, emissions down and a secure future for our world-class aluminium industry \u2013 that\u2019s what today\u2019s announcement provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“With an entire aluminium supply chain uniquely located right here in Australia, we’re well positioned to capture the rewards of the global green energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Communities and businesses rely on aluminium smelters, and we have an opportunity to partner with the private sector to support these secure well-paying jobs into the future<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBacking our strengths, playing to our advantages and building a future for all Australians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe aluminium sector is a critical value-add industry for Australia and a crucial part of the Albanese Government\u2019s Future Made in Australia plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis package guarantees good blue collar jobs in the Hunter, Central Queensland, Northern Tasmania, Western Australia and Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know that Peter Dutton\u2019s risky nuclear reactor plan requires the closure of Australian electricity-intensive manufacturing like aluminium refining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe biggest risk to aluminium and regional manufacturing is Peter Dutton\u2019s Liberals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
