Labor Prioritizes Canberra Over Tasmanian Jobs
Tasmanian Labor MPs are urged to stand up for local jobs, particularly with the future of Bell Bay Aluminium at stake.
Felix Ellis, Minister for Business, Industry and Resources, criticized Labor's Deputy Opposition Leader, Ms Finlay, stating she is more focused on protecting her federal colleagues than supporting workers and businesses in her electorate.
"We have been calling on the Federal Government since May to ensure Australia's only aluminium smelter powered by renewables is eligible for the Federal Government's Green Aluminium Production Credit,"
Minister Ellis emphasized the importance of this eligibility for the smelter's future.
