Queensland Senator Susan McDonald: The Crisis in Australia's Mineral Smelting Industry


Listen Later

My guest today is Queensland Senator Susan McDonald.

Today we discuss:

  • The serious crisis in Australia's mining processing and smelting industry with potentially 70,000 jobs at risk
  • Whether the key plants, and manufacturing more generally in Australia, can survive so long as we continue with "net zero" and other related carbon dioxide emission commitments
  • Whether we also need a reassessment of trade policy with China and others in order to reboot manufacturing
  • Her views on the potential for expansion of gas, critical minerals, and "green steel".
  • What Australian centre-right should learn from the new American administration

And much more
