Tax incentives for renewable hydrogen production and critical minerals processing passed the Senate with amendments from the Greens on Monday night after the government struck a deal with the minor party.

The federal government’s broader $22.7 billion Future Made in Australia manufacturing policy — which aims to fund clean energy projects and create jobs for the decarbonisation transition — is a key part of Labor’s election pledge to “build Australia’s future”.

“I stand here to congratulate the Albanese government today on this work … in fact, we could go further with a Greens minority government in the 48th Parliament.”

“If you think you are doing it tough now, God help Australians if the Greens get what they want and Mr Albanese is governing with them.”
