Wasteful taxpayer spend exposes Labor's energy hypocricy


Labor’s all renewables approach to energy will decimate Australian industry, and drive  aluminium production offshore, NSW Nationals Senator Ross Cadell said following Labor’s  decision to spend more taxpayer funds on its fanciful green dream.

“For Albo to be turning up with $2 billion of taxpayer funds for the aluminium industry tells  us everything there is to know about Labor’s green dream, weather dependant renewables  are not the cheapest, and will never sustain industry in this country,” Cadell said. 

“Tomago Aluminium is the single largest user of power in Australia, consuming more than  10% of NSW energy supply.

“Recently, the smelter went to market seeking more than three times their current energy  use because renewables can’t be trusted to deliver reliable power. 

“Now, Labor is throwing your money at the industry to compensate for Albo and Bowen’s  disastrous renewables only policy.

“Some may say it is a $2 billion Bowen bail out.”

The announcement has come as thousands of residents in the Hunter mop up after storms,  and big swells battered the region.

“In a region still waiting for the lights to come back on after storms knocked out  transmission infrastructure, Labor has turned up to say more weak links is the way to go.

“This is the same Labor who want to build 260-metre-tall wind turbines off our coast.

“If offshore wind was in place during last week’s swell, we would have been collecting shattered fibreglass turbine blades on Stockton Beach.”
