My question is to the Minister for Industry and Innovation, Senator Ayres. Minister, the Australian Workers' Union said earlier this month:
Between skyrocketing energy prices, cheap dumping and tariff wars, smelters such as Nyrstar and Glencore Mt Isa are up against a wall.
Does the minister agree with the Australian Workers' Union that the skyrocketing energy prices which his government has presided over are risking good union jobs at Australia's manufacturing smelters?
