Union leader Daniel Walton has criticised Labor for doing a “dud deal” with gas companies, saying it further threatens manufacturing.

Australian Workers Union national secretary Daniel Walton has criticised Resources Minster Madeline King for doing a “dud deal” with gas companies that would do nothing to lower prices.that the government was looking anew at a mechanism to drive down domestic gas prices, Mr Walton said the new heads of agreement struck last week between Ms King and the gas giants was a threat to manufacturing.

“The federal government has rightly stated it wants Australia to become a manufacturing powerhouse. Well, there’s zero chance of that happening while it maintains this current stance on gas.” On Tuesday, Dr Chalmers said he, Ms King, Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen and Industry Minster Ed Husic, were working on a plan “to see what else can be done beyond the near-term updating of the heads of agreement that Minister King did with the companies”.
