Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is set to put $1.5 billion into reinvigorating manufacturing in Australia and is set to reveal a strategy aimed at increasing access to global markets and boosting large-scale production. The Australian has reported Mr Morrison will announce the $1.3 billion Modern Manufacturing Initiative in a major speech prior to the federal budget announcement.
The government will use the initiative to leverage co-investment across six major areas in which Australia is believed to hold a competitive advantage. Sky News contributor Caleb Bond says now is the “best time to do it”. “There’s an appetite in Australia to get back into manufacturing, and I think there will be an appetite around the world to buy quality product,” he said. “This has really made us think about our economy, it’s the perfect time to rebuild it from the ground up.

ScottMorrisonMP This will be wasted money unless the issue of the cost of power is fixed. Manufacturing of any sort is not sustainable unless it can be cost competitive.
ScottMorrisonMP For decades we have been told we are a services economy and government policies that deliberately let manufacturing jobs go overseas our ever wise government have seen the light of how exposed we are to world events when we import everything we consume
ScottMorrisonMP Yeah-nah, won’t work. He can’t even get enough fruit pickers.

ScottMorrisonMP I support this. But key to achieving this is through cheaper power prices and reliable energy that'll simultaneously keep the lights on as well. Achieve that & we're on our way to becoming a manufacturing powerhouse. auspol.

Regional producers providing incentives to unemployed Australians | Sky News AustraliaDeputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack is appealing to young Australians and visitors to venture into regional areas for employment opportunities to support themselves and the agriculture sector. \n\nHe told Sky News the Regional Australia Institute last week identified 45600 jobs in regional and rural areas. \n\nThe government will also change the rules surrounding fruit and veggie pickers to allow visa holders to extend their visas ahead of the harvest season. \n\n“We want to get those people off the coast, into the Hinterland, into the regional areas and taking those jobs. Those fruit growers need it, those farmers need it and it’s so important to be able to enable them to have that work so we don’t see fruit rotting on the trees,” Mr McCormack said. \n\n“Even despite everything that hit regional Australia and agriculture, the industry, the sector grew by a billion over the last 12 months to a $61 billion enterprise. \n\n“We want to make it a $100 billion by 2030, but we can’t do it if the fruit stays on the vine, we can’t do it if it stays on the trees, we need those workers, there’s good pay and incentive for them to do so. \n\n“So I say if you’re on your surfboard, you’re unemployed, you’re on the coast and you really want to improve yourself and help your nation, besides, have a look what’s available for you, there’s a lot of jobs available.\n\n“There are plenty of people who are collecting a welfare check who could better themselves … give them new skills, meet new friends and, as I say, get those adventures for life.”\n\n\n M_McCormackMP Because a corrupt scheme of exploitation and abuse is so attractive.
