Australian PM’s China Stance Is Politically Motivated: Opposition Leader
Australian Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has taken aim at the prime minister’s handling of Australia’s relations with China, claiming it is politically motivated and has put the country’s resources industry at risk.
Albanese delivered the remarks at the launch of Minerals Week—hosted by the Mineral Council of Australia—while outlining the Australian Labor Party’s (ALP) vision for the $200 billion sector, including support for a gradual transition towards renewable energies.
“As the world moves to a low-carbon future, demand for some resources will decline. But there will be strong demand for other resources, particularly those needed for growth sectors like electric vehicles and batteries,” Albanese told attendees.
