PM pushes for clean-energy jobs
Targets for locally made steel to be used on infrastructure projects will be part of “finishing the build” on reforms for the next generation as part of a renewables boost, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says. Albanese unveiled a $500 million push to create jobs in clean energy manufacturing, driven by domestic steel and aluminium, during a major speech on Friday night. The funding will be set aside to support the construction of wind towers and surrounding infrastructure, as well as large-scale solar projects.
