The 2026–27 Federal Budget has been handed down. You can find the Budget papers at: www.budget.gov.au #Budget2026
Today is the 125th anniversary of Australia’s Federal Parliament. Learn about the incredible history of one of our most important symbols of Australia’s democracy.

Today the Prime Minister announced that next week’s Federal Budget will include an Australian Fuel Security and Resilience package to ensure energy sovereignty and protect our nation’s energy interests.
The package will provide more than $10 billion to secure Australia’s near-term fuel and fertiliser security, establish a permanent Government-owned Australian Fuel Security Reserve of around a billion litres, and lift the Minimum Stockholding Obligation by around 10 days for every type of fuel.
This will support an overall expansion of Australia’s onshore fuel reserves to ensure at least 50 days of fuel supply and storage of diesel and aviation fuel.
The Australian Fuel Security and Resilience package will deliver:
• $7.5 billion for the establishment of a Fuel and Fertiliser Security Facility to increase supply and storage of fuel and fertiliser by providing financial support including loans, equity, guarantees, insurance and price support.
• $3.2 billion to establish a Government-owned Australian Fuel Security Reserve of around a billion litres to increase long term diesel and aviation fuel supply and storage in combination with an increase to the Minimum Stockholding Obligation (MSO), to increase Australia’s critical fuel reserves to 50 days. Our Australia Fuel Security Reserve will focus on regional stockouts and supply constraints for essential users in the event of another supply crisis.
• $10 million to support feasibility studies into new or expanded fuel refining capabilities, to be co-funded with state and territory jurisdictions.

Australia and Japan have agreed to strengthen their partnership to support economic security by making us more resilient to economic shocks and uncertainty and supporting regional economic resilience.
Leaders also committed to strengthening energy security, helping ensure stable supplies of fuel and gas for households and businesses in both countries, and supporting open trade flows of essential energy goods.
Both countries will also deepen cooperation in critical minerals, defence and cyber security. This includes driving co-investment into Australia’s critical minerals sector, strengthening defence capability, and working together to respond to evolving cyber threats.
A new Australia–Japan Leadership Dialogue will bring together leaders from government, business and the community to drive practical cooperation on shared priorities.
These initiatives elevate our Special Strategic Partnership with Japan and affirm our shared commitment to peaceful, stable and prosperous region.

Through the Office for Youth, the Australian Government is engaging with young people on the issues that matter most to them!
The Office for Youth connect young people with Australian Government information and services that impacts them – from mental health services to employment opportunities.
In late March, @youthgovau hosted around 100 young people from across Australia to connect directly with government at Youth Meets Parliament Week – representing young people around the country on policies and programs that impact them.
Members participated in a range of activities and workshops designed to generate ideas, propose solutions, and further build policy engagement and advocacy skills.
Representatives used these skills when meeting with various Members of Parliament – including the Minister for Youth, Senator the Hon Dr Jess Walsh.
Youth Meets Parliament Week is a just one example of how the Office for Youth ensures young people are included in government decisions, giving young people the chance to influence change and get involved in the national conversation.

This Anzac Day marks the 111th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings. We pause to remember and pay tribute to the service and sacrifices made by Australians: from the first landing in Gallipoli, to the men and women currently serving.
We encourage Australians to commemorate Anzac Day however they can, from wherever they are, in acknowledgement of the generations of service by our Defence Force.
