Lost opportunity to develop NSW aluminium industry
Mr. R. S. Vincent told the Legislative Assembly that NSW could have supplied the aluminium industry from Emmaville’s bauxite deposits. He warned that water in the Styx and Clarence rivers could generate 100 000 hp for transmission to Emmaville, if used for local manufacture rather than shipments to Tasmania. He criticized government handling and called for prior NSW consultation.
