As part of this press conference, Anthony Albanese drops this line:

A Labor Government will establish a critical minerals strategic reserve.

But says there will be more detail coming over the next few weeks of the campaign.

That is the first Labor has publicly spoken about a critical minerals reserve (which is what we should have been doing on gas from the beginning) but there have been hints.

This is the critical minerals strategy announced last year which included exploration and also supply chain measures. This will be the next step.
