https://live.australiainstitute.org.au/ So the big issue here is that the Coalition have been blindsided by Labor sewing up a deal with the Greens on the Future Made in Australia production tax credits, and is lashing out. The Coalition had plans to send the bill to committee and tie it up until after the election, but the Greens, independents and Labor have obviously come together on an agreement to pass the bill. That most likely means that fossil fuel mining companies have been shut out of the fund. Michaelia Cash is very upset that the Greens and the Labor government having done a “dirty deal” on a bill “that will have a direct impact on the mining industry”. The impact being – if you are in fossil fuel mining you probably won’t be getting any production tax credits from the future made in Australia funds, but Cash says this is about the Greens getting “cabinet positions” in a minority Labor government, which is frankly hilarious. This is a flashback to when there were reports that former Greens leader Richard di Natale was to get a cabinet position in the 2019 Shorten minority government. I know that the ACT Greens and Labor parties are in a coalition, but COME ON. “Do you actual care how much the average Australian pays in their prices?!” something has broken in Cash’s brain as she argues against the hour motion here, and frankly, it is the boost we all need. Katy Gallagher stands up to say as “extraordinary as that presentation was, bordering on the delusional” she thinks it would be “beneficial for the chamber to move on”.
It will be awesome if the production credits legislation is passed today, and it will be fantastic if #Labor have agreed with the #Greens to block any access by #FossilFuel companies to the #ProductionCredits #BatteryMinerals #CleanTech #BESS
