00:00Claps all round for Anthony Albanese.
00:09I've got a simple message for the workers here at Tomago today, and that is we've got
00:15your back.
00:16The Prime Minister's promise to these aluminium workers, earning him a rock star's welcome.
00:25The Federal Government says it struck a deal to keep the Tomago aluminium smelter in the
00:31NSW Hunter region open past 2028.
00:34The announcement was light on detail.
00:37What I won't be doing is oversharing, Matt, at this conference.
00:42But still a relief for workers.
00:44This gives them the jobs that they want, and they want to keep, and for this plant to keep
00:48going, which is important.
00:49The smelter's owner, Rio Tinto, had warned the plant could close, worried rising power
00:55prices would make it unviable.
00:57With 1,000 jobs hanging in the balance, Labor will step in, promising to work with Rio Tinto
01:04to secure fixed price power for the local manufacturer.
01:08The fundamental premise of this is a long-term power purchasing agreement that delivers security
01:14at the right price for Tomago, so they are internationally competitive.
01:18One of the options for subsidised power is the Snowy Hydro Renewable Energy Generator.
01:24It will come at a cost to the taxpayer.
01:27There are benefits and costs for all of us in this process.
01:31The Government hopes to finalise details of the agreement early next year.
01:36The Government quietly talks about the issuance of Patricia
01:40the Nets of Russia and Aqua?
01:42The Government's стороны to ensure the agreement is due.

01:46The North side is the highest empire.
