Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says the Albanese government's net zero policy is costing Australians their jobs.
Mr Canavan’s comments come as hundreds of workers are set to lose their jobs after aluminium refinery Alcoa announced plans to shut down operations in Kwinana, Western Australia.
“This decision today just shows the absolute folly of our net zero emissions obsession,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“The net zero policy that we have cost Australian jobs, and it doesn’t reduce global carbon emissions.
“It doesn’t even meet its objective and it comes at a massive cost to the Australian economy.
“It means de-industrialisation, manufacturing jobs going overseas.”
