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.

Our Government is proud of our country's abundant renewables resources, and Australians taking them up at home.

Tony Abbott just told ABC that Angus Taylor will bring in a more “Australian” energy policy. 

I can’t think of a more Australian energy policy that using the greatest solar and wind resources in the world found right here at home.

Angus Taylor always gets his numbers wrong. 

And you pay the price.

Fairfield Hospital Redevelopment The NSW Government has committed $550 million to upgrade and expand Fairfield Hospital to respond to the health needs of the growing local community.

This work is so important for our community, especially since our hospital has not been upgraded since being built.

We promised and now we're delivering. 

New plans for the Fairfield Hospital upgrade have been released, and they look amazing.

Always a pleasure to welcome former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to my office to talk renewable energy. 

This Government works with people from all perspectives and we get views from across the political spectrum when it comes to the renewable transition.

It's National Apprenticeship week. 

I got to meet some of our super-impressive energy apprentices at Transgrid Horsley Park, in my electorate.

Apprentices like Tully are the future of our energy transition, and I say, we're in very good hands.

For too many, what should the happiest time in their life becomes a major challenge. 

For people in our community, it is especially difficult. 

That's why this perinatal clinic at Fairfield Hospital is so important, free and familiar care for those who are suffering most.

The Albanese Government is investing $80 million as well as the Minns Government's $550 million to ensure locals get the hospital we deserve.

It was a Labor government that built Fairfield Hospital, it's only a Labor government that will support it.

The PM is spot on, we're investing into Fairfield Hospital.

In fact, the Minns and Albanese Governments are working together to rebuild it.

For the second time in less than a year, the Coalition has split up and made up.

While they’re focused on themselves, we’re focused on you.

Mental health support. For free. In our community. 

No wait times and no appointment needed, just your Medicare card.

A big thank you to Assistant Minister Emma McBride for coming down to Blacktown to check in on this amazing service.

I've been told that I like to talk about Cheaper Home Batteries a lot, and for good reason. 

But why not hear from an owner directly. 

The Litchfields, from the beautiful suburb of Bella Vista, are shining examples of the outer suburban story of Cheaper Home Batteries.
