Australia's manufacturing industry has been in terminal decline for decades as increased labour and energy costs, combined with worker shortages, have made local production uncompetitive with overseas options. It's a problem the Albanese government has tried to address with its 'Future Made in Australia' policy, which has set aside billions to support a handful of industries, with an eye on helping Australia transition to net zero.
