Russell Broadbent here, your Federal Member for Monash.
Australian manufacturers are calling for cheap baseload power because they can’t compete with our existing expensive and unreliable power.
The United States have cheaper power than us, China has cheaper power than us – we are in serious trouble.
Making things in Australia is about local jobs, local communities and local benefit. Anything we do to threaten the viability of manufacturing in Australia is an attack on our national security and independence.
The Labor government is using YOUR money to fund THEIR fairytale energy transition which relies on intermittent renewables. If you can even call them renewable…
Under the taxpayer funded subsidy scheme – the $1bn Solar Sunshot program - the government will consider funding activities that occur overseas, and there is no limitation on foreign-owned entities applying for funding.
So next time you hear Labor talking about a ‘Future Made in Australia’ – don’t give them any credit.
Under their mandate, it will be a Future Ruined in Australia, paid for by Australians.
It’s time to support homegrown Australian industries by using our natural advantage in natural resources.
That’s Justice as I see it.
