This is high level stuff :
Australia and the United States are also establishing the ministerial-level Australia-United States Taskforce on Critical Minerals (the Taskforce), to be led by principals from the U.S. National Security Council and Australia’s Department of Industry, Science and Resources

In the context below my read is this is the the main forum providing the advice on direction in order to secure America's place at home & abroad & co-ordinate the various functions to enable & enact such that this comes to pass.

In the United States, the National Security Council is the principal forum for the President to consider national security and foreign policy matters. It serves as a hub for coordinating and integrating the various elements of national security policy and provides the President with advice and recommendations.

The main functions of the National Security Council in the United States include:

1. Advising the President: The NSC advises the President on matters related to national security and foreign policy. It helps the President understand the implications and potential consequences of various decisions and provides recommendations to support the President's decision-making process.

2. Coordinating National Security Policy: The NSC coordinates and integrates the efforts of various government agencies involved in national security, such as the Department of Defense, Department of State, intelligence agencies, and others. It ensures that these agencies work together effectively and align their strategies and policies.

3. Crisis Management: The NSC plays a critical role in crisis management. It helps the President assess and respond to emergencies, both domestic and international. During times of crisis, the NSC acts as a central hub for information sharing, decision-making, and coordination among relevant departments and agencies.

4. Formulating National Security Strategy: The NSC assists in the development of the National Security Strategy, which outlines the President's overall vision and approach to national security. It helps identify key priorities, threats, and challenges, and recommends policy measures to address them.

5. Overseeing Implementation: The NSC oversees the implementation of national security policies and strategies, ensuring that they are effectively executed by the relevant agencies. It monitors progress, evaluates outcomes, and makes adjustments as necessary.

6. Interagency Coordination: The NSC fosters coordination and collaboration among different departments and agencies involved in national security. It convenes meetings and discussions to facilitate information sharing, policy development, and coordination of actions across various sectors.

It's important to note that the specific structure and roles of the NSC may vary in different countries, but the core functions typically revolve around advising the head of state, coordinating national security efforts, and managing crises.


Need I call out the specific components applicable to TIVAN?
Accelerate the expansion and diversification of end-to-end clean energy supply chains - diversification into VRFBs & that second part what we have already seen is that this is Grant & the TVN's team core focus.
Promote responsible, sustainable, and stable supply of critical minerals. - Titanium, Vanadium both CM
Drive the development of emerging battery technologies - VRFBs

How they will achieve this :
Engage our critical minerals and clean energy industries - Wonder if TVN has anyone that knows anyone from the US?
Collaborate on projects and standards - this will be where the CSIRO & all the ground work the Tivan team will be invaluable

Assess our clean energy job projections - opportunity will be multi-generational IMO. This will run for longer than the fossil fueled economic system which has been in place for the past 60-70 years.
