The Western Australian government has revealed that Fortescue Metals Group chose to build a $1bn electrolyser plant in Queensland because there was no suitable site for the green hydrogen project in WA. Liberal Party leader David Honey says the fact that Fortescue founder Andrew Forrest selected Queensland for the site of the project rather than his home state demonstrates Labor’s "complete failure" to put in place the necessary infrastructure and incentives to develop green hydrogen export jobs. He has called for State Development Minister Roger Cook and Hydrogen Industry Minister Alannah MacTiernan to be removed from their portfolios.
