Independent MP Helen Haines met with Treasurer Jim Chalmers on Monday to try and allay fears there is only a “vague outline” for how tens of billions of dollars in industry support will be spent through the Future Made in Australia push.

She joins half a dozen crossbenchers in seeking changes to Future Made in Australia (FMiA) bills over the last week, before it even reaches the Senate.
