PM Urges Manufacturers to Take Mining Jobs

The Prime Minister claims the future of Australian manufacturing is in the mining industry, and has offered $1.2 million of grants to help companies form ties with mining projects – according to a report from The Australian.

Julia Gillard was speaking at a Perth manufacturing facility run by Hoffman Engineering, which designs and makes components for mining machinery.

"Other sections of manufacturing would do well to look at the track record of this place -- how it has stayed at the forefront of research and development, how it has met its customers' needs and how it has been investing in skills and training every step of the way," Gillard was quoted in The Australian report.

"These are the key ingredients that has made this business a success and this business is now drawing from the wealth of the resources industry.”
