Albanese outlines to-do list, appears in no rush for election

Busy February agenda for parliament

He said his top priority for February's scheduled parliamentary sittings would be to pass legislation to establish tax credits for critical minerals and rare earth miners, a policy opposed by Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.
Mr Albanese also hinted that the door was still open to negotiating with the Coalition on reforms to election funding laws in the face of stiff opposition from the Greens and teal independents.
"We want to get, firstly, our legislation for production tax credits through the Senate," Mr Albanese said in the interview, on a cattle station in the NT.
"That's about supporting new industries, particularly in the resources sector."
"We have rare earths and critical minerals, and this will be important in setting Australia up for the future. And importantly, tax credits, of course, reward success. So, we want to encourage that investment because we think that we need to seize the opportunities which are there."
