The Albanese Government has today released the nation’s first National Battery Strategy, supporting a Future Made in Australia and shoring up our economic resilience and security.

The global demand for batteries is set to quadruple by 2030 as the world transitions to net zero, and our Strategy maps a path for Australia to take advantage of this growth to build a thriving battery industry.

It identifies four high-value strategic opportunities:

ANDREW CHARLTON, MEMBER FOR PARRAMATTA: Well welcome everybody. Welcome to Westmead, in the federal electorate of Parramatta, a proud Dharug Country. Parramatta is the most dynamic CBD in Australia, the fastest growing CBD in Australia, with more than a million square metres of office space being laid down. We're just metres from the Westmead Innovation Precinct, one of the world's leading centres of medical care and medical innovation. Parramatta is a growing city and an aspirational city.

Western Sydney is a place of opportunity.

It's one of the most diverse and dynamic regions in the country - a centre of Australian entrepreneurialism and aspiration, and a hub for economic growth and jobs - and it's also at the centre of my team's Budget.

Labor is investing in Western Sydney because we back Western Sydney. It's an exceptional place to earn a living, start a business, build connections and relationships, and raise a family.

MURRAY JONES, HOST: My special guest this morning, Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you. I'm sure it's another sparkling day up in the Tropical North, but always great to chat with you, Murray.

HOST: Our next guest is very important to a topic that we launched yesterday, the initiative called 36 months. We need you to go to 36months.com.au. We want you to sign the petition. The petition that says we need to change the age that kids can join social media from 13 to 16. We went through the statistics yesterday with the Premier Minns in the studio here. From 2008 to 2022, the rates of self harm doubled between the ages of 15 and 19. And how's this, tripled for girls under the age of 14.

AARON STEVENS, HOST: I'm joined by the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good morning to you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, Aaron. Good to talk with you again.

STEVENS: We're still just getting over Beef here in Central Queensland. How did you get over Beef?

OLIVER PETERSON, HOST: Joining me now is the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good afternoon.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Always good to have a chat with you, Ollie.

PETERSON: The Opposition is going to make this a housing and immigration election, by the sounds of things, because Peter Dutton's policies are getting people talking. Have you let too many people into Australia? Is the Government now wedged on migration?

RICHARD GLOVER, HOST: The Prime Minister is here, Anthony Albanese. Welcome, Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G’day, good to be with you.

GLOVER: Now, Peter Dutton's Budget reply, I think it's fair to say, was dominated by migration. A crackdown on permanent migration on foreign buyers of existing houses, international students. With a housing crisis, excess demand in the economy and these really congested roads we experience in Sydney, isn't he onto something?

MARK GIBSON, HOST: Well, in the past week or so, the Prime Minister and the Treasurer have been outselling that Federal Budget, headlined by things like the Future Made in Australia plan with billions of dollars pumped into that. We got rock getting tax cuts in July that we knew about, some more energy rebates. But is it all going to drive inflation up or down? That's one of the big questions. At nine minutes to seven, Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, he joins me. Good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you, Mark.

STEVE AUSTIN, HOST: Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, joins me at a time where Australians are being told not to attempt to travel at the airport. Prime Minister, good morning to you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Steve. Good to be with you.

AUSTIN: Do you know, or does the Australian Government know, when the French gendarmerie expect to have the situation under control?
