A HIGH-level manufacturing taskforce is meeting with the Federal Government as it prepares to deliver a 10-year plan to support local industry.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard set up the taskforce last year and invited industry, unions, science and academics to devise a plan by June this year.
Ms Gillard was 50 minutes late to the gathering in Canberra today.
Arriving with Climate Change Minister Greg Combet, Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten and Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet secretary Ian Watt, she apologised for the “slight delay”.
This third meeting of the taskforce will focus on Australian jobs.
Ms Gillard said since the last meeting a “couple of things changed in the economy” including a slight depreciation in the Australian dollar which has take some of the pressure off exporters.
“This will also give us an opportunity to exchange views of how people are experiencing current market conditions,” she told the taskforce.
But the Australian economy remained strong compared to its European peers.
“Nothing reinforces with you the strength of our economy after having a conversation with the president of France or the chancellor of Germany,” Ms Gillard said.
“But we also know that our economy is a patchwork of pressures and that manufacturing has been undergoing long-term structural change.”
Taskforce members include union leaders Paul Howes and Dave Oliver, and Holden boss Mike Devereux and other chief executives.
Australian Workers’ Union chief Mr Howes earlier this week called for further government assistance for the manufacturing sector.
