Deciding to co-invest in new smelter technologies is “not a question of harnessing comparative advantage but establishing competitive advantage in global markets & value chains” @MizenRonald My take on govt package @ayrestim @AlboMP.

The funding package from the federal, SA and Tasmanian governments is linked to adapting loss-making smelters so they can produce critical minerals.
