And that's supposedly going to be online in 2026.

So there's a whole bunch of reasons why green steel could definitely work in Wyala.

Not worth giving up now.

Yeah, damn right.

There's no way, as they say, there's no way this is going to happen unless you get the keys to the place.

You have to persuade him to step aside.

And that is unlikely to happen, judging by the way he's hung on to all these other businesses he has around the world.

So it's not an easy job to get him out, that's for sure.

But I think you do need to get him out because he ain't got the money to do it.

Well, I think it's very hard to see a coalition government putting a lot of taxpayer money into green steel.

I mean, it would involve renewable energy and supporting industry, neither of which the coalition is very keen on.

And it's got a policy to rely on nuclear power in 2040.

So the chances of Wyala being rescued and modernised with a coalition in the driving seat, it seems to me, are very slim.

So, Labor has a problem, which is if this place is to be rescued and to be its future to be secured, Labor needs to act.

That means that it's not just a whole, this is an interesting story that's going to bubble along for a bit.

This is actually a bit of a crisis for Wyala because there's only, what, two or three months until the next election.

Unless something is done before then, it's really hard to see how this future can be secured.

It's a pleasure.

Thank you.
