Greens leader Adam Bandt has suggested that taxpayers should have a stake in critical minerals and green hydrogen projects supported by the Federal Government's Future Made in Australia plan. This proposal is aimed at ensuring that the public benefits from investments in key industries for Australia's future growth. With the Coalition showing resistance, it is likely that Labor will need the Greens' support to advance its industry plan through Federal Parliament. By involving taxpayers in projects related to critical minerals and green hydrogen, Bandt's idea seeks to create a more inclusive approach to economic development and ensure that the community has a direct interest in these strategic sectors. The push for public involvement in such projects highlights a broader discussion on the role of government investment in shaping the country's industrial landscape, particularly in areas crucial for sustainability and innovation.
