A Future Made in Australia is now enshrined in law

In a win for workers, jobs, and climate, the Future Made in Australia Bill has passed the Senate and is now enshrined in law. 


The Future Made in Australia Act is the Albanese Government’s plan to build a better future for Australian workers while supporting a just transition to a net zero economy. The plan focuses on investing in manufacturing and new industry, creating quality well-paid jobs and opportunities while strengthening economic security.


A Future Made in Australia will protect our current jobs, expand local supply chains, and strengthen industrial capabilities, reducing cost of living pressures for working people and enriching our regional communities.

Hunter Workers acknowledges the Awabakal, Worimi and Wonnarua Nations as the traditional custodians of Newcastle and the Hunter region, and recognises their continuing cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters, and seas.
We pay respect to the wisdom of the Elders past and present, and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders visiting this website.

Hunter Workers recognises that the Union Movement has not always upheld our defining principle of solidarity, having oftentimes excluded First Nations comrades historically. We are committed to the work of reconciliation.
