Emergency Bailout
Victorian Government provides $200M after a major power outage threatens the smelter's viability.
A proposed doubling of wind farm setbacks in Victoria could decimate the state’s renewable energy pipeline, risking $3.9 billion in clean energy wages and undermining climate goals. The policy would remove 70% of viable land, fragment transmission links, and jeopardize 26,000 projected regional jobs.
