My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Industry and Science, Senator Farrell. Can the minister update the Senate on the government's plans to ensure that Australia adds value to our critical minerals like lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and rare earths that we mine in that fantastic part of the nation, WA, and develop a domestic battery manufacturing capability? Minister, what are the opportunities for Australia from developing a domestic industry?
