‘Ridiculous’: Labor’s Future Made in Australia bill ‘without substance’
Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume has slammed Labor’s Future Made in Australia bill, saying it is a “very big headline” without “substance”.
“If it’s about grants and incentives, well, they can be done without legislation,” she told Sky News Australia.
Ms Hume’s comments come as $22.7 billion over the next 10 years will be put into businesses considered critical for the net zero transition, as well as sectors that boost national economic resilience and security.
The government will introduce its legislation in parliament today.
“What manufacturers need is lower energy prices, they need flexible industrial relation laws, they need de-regulation and they need lower taxes,” Ms Hume said.
“That’s what they are crying out for in an economic plan.”
