All Albanese could manage at a dinner meeting with the MCA was to bleat that they were abandoning co-operation for conflict! How ignorant and unaware can he be? Albanese himself is the master of conflict, and the reason for the MCA standing up at last.
Albanese was reminded by the MCA that the mining industry he was ‘undermining’ provided government coffers with $74 billion in taxes and royalties in 2022-23, and provided 10% of GDP.
“The straw that broke the camel's back” according to the MCA were the government's IR laws. They are “reckless” and have brought conflict to every work place.
Then there's the economy-choking rebuttal recently of a mine knocked back after 4 years of applying through red and green tape costing the company millions. Questionably claimed to be aboriginally ‘significant’.
Australia will become a no-go country for investment if the Albanese gets another term. They have made it clear that their stupid pigheadedness is not for turning. Just look at net zero, expensive and soon to be unreliable power situations. The Albanese mob's reaction to alternative suggestions is to double down on their own stupidity. Madeleine King, Resources Minister, for instance, claiming that, ‘No government in recent memory has put the resources industry at the centre of its policy making in the way that the [Albanese] Government has…”.
‘No government in recent history’ has had an anti-mining, take-the-word-of-one-or-two-activists, Minister like Tania Plibersek knocks that lie on the head.
Even the namby pamby BHP has stood up to the Albanese government’s “industrial relations assault on mining”.
An election is coming. I hope Albanese's goose is cooked before he totally kills off the goose that is laying the golden eggs for Australia.
