It's not time to slow down. It's time to build on our state's momentum.
Right now, our state has momentum. We’ve built the country’s strongest economy. More South Australians have jobs than ever before. But it’s more than numbers. You can feel the energy. We’re being noticed. And now, together, we have the opportunity to turn this momentum into lasting progress, and a better future for all South Australians.

It's been one year since we took the bold decision to put the steelworks and mine operations into administration.
Today, we have a major update.

This is antimony - a critical mineral that the world desperately needs more of.
And it's being produced right here in Port Pirie.
Today, we reach a major milestone at Nyrstar - with the first shipment of antimony.
Right now, 150 tonnes are produced per annum.
The next step is to produce 2,000 tonnes per annum in a commercially viable way.
That means the smelter and the more than 1,000 workers have an ongoing future in the Upper Spencer Gulf.
And it's about South Australia pulling its weight in the global supply chain.

We need more of these legends in our state.
The question isn't where the work will come from anymore, now that we're building a $30bn nuclear submarine construction yard in Osborne to get started on AUKUS.
It's whether we've got the skilled people ready to take it on.
That's why we have a plan for more than 1,000 new training opportunities - so we've got the workforce ready for AUKUS.
Because the future of our state should mean lifelong, fulfilling careers for South Australians.
