Australia news live: PM calls for ‘investigation and action’ on childcare neglect reports; trade minister pleads tariffs case with US counterpart | Australia news


Albanese says Four Corners allegations about childcare sector ‘of deep concern’

Responding to last night’s Four Corners episode on the ABC, Anthony Albanese said every child who attends an early learning centre should “be treated properly, with respect.”

Last night’s revelations on Four Corners are, of course, of deep concern. There needs to be certainly an investigation and action taken wherever they standards are not met.

He said state governments look after the regulation, and he is confident they would “look at what has been revealed last night”.

The Greens have called for a royal commission in response to the revelations but the PM said “you do not need a royal commission to show that what was shown on TV last night was wrong”.

Albanese says Australia the envy of other countries when it comes to renewables resources

Taking a final question, Anthony Albanese said Australia needs to be “ambitious” and “optimistic” when it comes to renewables.

Australia is in a unique position of having the best solar resources in the world, amongst the best wind resources in the world … We are the envy of countries like Japan and South Korea who simply are not in a position to have the space to be able to have this investment …

Australia needs to be ambitious. We must be optimistic. We can create more jobs here. We can be a renewable energy superpower for the world and working with the private sector is what we’re doing.
