This is what the head of the AWU in Victoria has said:

You cannot run heavy industry without reliable, plentiful and cheap electricity.

…   …   …

… the rush away from coal and gas-fired electricity power stations to renewables is … crucifying hundreds of thousands of manufacturing workers.

We say to the Leader of the Opposition: you do not have the guts to drop your policy; you do not have the courage to defend your policy; but do not sacrifice manufacturing workers on the altar of ideology.
