Investing in our nation's abundant wind and solar energy creates the sovereignty needed to better buffer ourselves against times of international instability.

An update on fuel supply. 

Our nation remains fuel secure.

The Coalition and One Nation are deliberately confusing different figures and ignoring the facts to score cheap political points.

They also don't want Australians looking too closely at Angus Taylor and the Coalition's record when they were in government.

Get the facts on fuel supply.

While others talk the talk on sovereignty, the Albanese government is walking the walk.

We are better prepared now for this international instability than at any point in the last 15 years.

We store our rain - we can store our wind and sun power too.

The over 250,000 households who have installed a Cheaper Home Battery know this and are seeing the benefits. 

Common sense policy taking advantage of some our nation's most abundant resources.

An update on fuel and petrol.

We enter this international instability much better prepared than in the past.

We're passing the phone and the solar savings are being passed on to the homes near this battery in the Dickson community. 

It's one of the 400 community batteries being installed over the country, using our nation's abundant solar energy to but downward pressure on bills.

Reaching 250,000 Cheaper Home Batteries has been a major milestone for our nation. 

This is Australians getting on with the job and knowing that what's good for the planet is good for your pocket.

Forget 1 gigawatt-hour, the Cheaper Home Batteries programme now has a massive 6 gigawatt-hours of capacity. 

But what does this mean? And what can 6 gigawatt-hours actually power?

This is all about Australians embracing practical technology that helps lower bills.

Cheaper Home Batteries are for all Australians. 

In fact, the outer suburbs and regions are the areas taking it up the most. 

These batteries bust bills and deliver a better, fairer grid for everyone.

Rob has been a tireless advocate for sensible climate policies at home and abroad. It's wonderful to see such a good friend of Australia, and a mate, assume his country's highest office.

Looking forward to 🇦🇺 and 🇳🇱 working together even more closely in the years ahead.

When Rob served as Minister for Climate and Energy , we worked closely together in international negotiations and worked to economically benefit both countries with an Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen clean-energy supply chains between Australia and the Netherlands.

I want to warmly congratulate my friend @robjetten.bsky.social  on being sworn in as Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

Booming renewables, lower gas use and more motorists driving cheaper to run cars.

That's what's meant we've now had an 8.5 million tonne drop in Australia’s emissions over the year to September 2025.

And today we announced the locations of another 45 community batteries that will be up and running in the next three months.

Just like household batteries, community batteries are a suburban story, enabling people to participate in the benefits of renewable energy.

The massive new community battery we opened today in Padstow will see 10,000 houses or apartments be able to sign up for the cheaper renewable energy it will store.

People living in rural and regional Australia, like Chris in Bendigo, are taking control of their energy future through our Cheaper Home Batteries policy because they know what is good for the planet is good for the pocket.

From homeowners installing home batteries to councils making community spaces more energy efficient - people across Australia from Bendigo to Brisbane know that what is good for the planet is good for the pocket.

The Albanese Government is working with councils across regional & rural communities, so they can save on their bills & invest more into their communities through the Community Energy Upgrades Fund, including in Bendigo where the library will replace their gas heating system with electric heat pumps

Take this post down, Matt Canavan

This is the modern Coalition.

While others are focused on themselves, we're focused on investing in the cheapest form of energy. 

Last quarter saw more renewable energy than any other energy source, resulting in a decrease of the wholesale price.

It's just common sense.

A record has been broken. 

More renewable energy has been switched on in the last quarter, than any other quarter in history. 

Our focus is putting downward pressure on energy prices with the cheapest form of energy.

We've done a lot of work, but there is a lot more to do.

70,000 Urgent Care Clinic visits, 70 bulk billed GPs and $17.5 million in savings on medicines for our local community. 

The best part? All you need is your Medicare card.

Labor built Medicare, and we will always defend it.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Hoping you have someone as obsessed with you as the National party.

The only thing I’m obsessed with is fixing their energy mess.
