Episode Details

Australia’s biggest aluminum smelter, Tomago Aluminium, is getting a lifeline after years of financial strain — potentially saving hundreds of millions annually and hundreds of jobs. Facing closure by 2029 due to soaring power costs, the federal government and NSW have struck a deal to keep the plant running, with Snowy Hydro providing cheaper energy.

Workers, who’ve lived in fear of job loss, are bracing for relief as details are set to be announced tomorrow.
