Alcoa denies carbon price to blame for decision to shut its Port Henry aluminium smelter



Isn't it incredible that the Abbott Government blames the Carbon Price for everything?
ALCOA DENIES CARBON PRICE was THE REASON TO CLOSE DOWN SMELTER.
So, in effect Alcoa is saying the Abbott Government is LYING AGAIN.





Aluminium manufacturer Alcoa says the carbon price was not to blame
for its decision to shut its Port Henry smelter in Victoria, distancing
itself from federal government claims the tax had hurt the business.




As the federal government and the opposition traded blows on
Tuesday about the company's decision to close facilities in Geelong and
Western Sydney, at the cost of nearly 1000 Alcoa workers' jobs, the
company moved to set the record straight.
