The Greens set back this country’s efforts to tackle climate change by more than a decade when they voted down the Rudd Government’s CPRS.

The Albanese Government is taking real action on climate change.

Delighted to see the new additions to Geoscience Australia’s Rocks that Shape Australia exhibition, the Yowah Moon opal and the Ngunawal Healing Stone!

Both stones and their accompanying pieces highlight the importance of Earth Science to Australian culture and society.

Gas is an incredibly important part of efforts to reach net zero.

We need gas to firm our electricity network and to process the critical minerals we need for the transition.

Those seeking to damage this industry only make that task of reducing emissions harder.

Wonderful to see increased interest from the US in Australian rare earth projects.

The Australian Strategic Materials (ASM) announcement follows my recent trip to Washington.

These projects create jobs and will help us meet our net zero targets.

I am deeply saddened at the death of a miner in Ballarat.

My thoughts are with his family and workmates.

Australia’s prosperity is built on the hard work of miners around the country.

Workers deserve to come home safe from a shift or a long swing away from home.

I am deeply concerned at reports of two miners trapped in Ballarat.

My thoughts are with them, their families and their work mates in very difficult circumstances.

I’m here in Washington to co-chair the principals meeting of the #criticalminerals taskforce and meet with a number of officials from the Biden administration to look at how we can leverage our #ESG standards and promote investment in Australia’s critical minerals. 🇦🇺🤝🏼🇺🇸

Today I opened the Toronto Stock Exchange! 🇨🇦💸
Australia and Canada are both leaders in the resources sector.
Working together, we can meet these challenges and build a better future.

The Albanese Government is backing WA’s shipbuilding industry with its plan for a larger and more capable surface fleet.

Many of these vessels will be built in Henderson.

This will mean more highly skilled jobs for WA, with over 1,200 new local jobs over the next decade.

👏👏👏

The average wage in the resources sector is $144,600, this means the majority of those working in Australia's resources industry will be better off under Labor’s tax cuts. Under Labor, workers will earn more. And keep more of what they earn.

Labor's new tax plan means everyone working in the #resources sector will receive a tax cut.

An honour to attend the last post ceremony at the Aust War Memorial to mark the commencement of the 2024 Parliamentary year.

And it was great to bump into former Member for Brand and Chair of the Australian War Memorial Council Kim Beazley.

Great discussions with both #KoreaZinc and #KoreaEximbank about Australia’s investment potential and how we can work together to build stronger supply chains for our critical minerals and renewable energy sectors. 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
