Australians have a choice – maintain the Renewable Energy Target (RET) or kiss goodbye to what’s left of our manufacturing industry and say bon voyage to our minerals processing sector.

The RET is an economic suicide pact which is not only harming the poorest and most vulnerable members of our society, it’s making it impossible for Australian manufacturers and mineral processors to compete internationally.  And that means higher unemployment and less meaningful employment for those lucky enough to get work.

If you want your kids’ career prospects limited to saying: “do you want fries with that?” – then fight tooth and nail for the status quo. Otherwise, join the growing queue calling on the Coalition to scrap the RET outright.

Here’s STT Champion, Alan Moran in The Australian yesterday – at the head of that queue and telling it like it is.
