Politicians say Australia's ability to viably produce lithium batteries is still a way offThe $135 million centre, announced today, will operate out of Curtin University in Perth and will look at how to better source minerals and process them into chemicals that are used to develop batteries.
"I want Australians and the rest of the world to see Western Australia as a hub for battery minerals and a manufacturing centre for some of the processes along the way to making a battery," he said. "We certainly know that there is an opportunity for us to manufacture the components, for example the cathodes in the battery, but at this point in time it would seem a way off before we look at lithium batteries."

Housing Industry Association criticises Labor's negative gearing policy | Sky News AustraliaThe Housing Industry Association's Tim Reardon says it's 'absolutely the wrong time' for Labor to introduce its controversial negative gearing policy.\n\nLabor plans to restrict negative gearing to new homes and reduce capital gains tax concessions if it wins the next federal election, claiming the policy will raise $32 billion over the next decade.\n\nThe Opposition has had to fend off claims on Wednesday that it inflated its negative gearing savings by up to $8 billion, which Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen denies. \n\nMr Reardon told Sky News that regardless of how much revenue the policy will raise, if Labor wants to address housing affordability, it should increase supply, rather than drive down prices.\n\n\n\n\n\n Well there's a surprise.
