Overseas trips vital for national security, PM says![\"Erin](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/lcimg-a793a1c6-269d-41d5-a3b6-9fed9237086d.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
The PM is about to jet off on several overseas trips, to COP31 in T\u00fcrkiye and ASEAN in the Philippines, then to APEC in China after that.<\/p>\n
He’s also just returned from the Caribbean, where the CHOGM was held.<\/p>\n
Anthony Albanese is asked about why it’s important for him to make these trips instead of staying home, and what he hopes to achieve.<\/p>\n
He says in an “interconnected world, it is absolutely in Australia’s national interest that we stay engaged”.<\/p>\n
He said he had the opportunity to sit down and discuss the issue of UK backpackers with UK PM\u00a0Andy Burnham while in Antigua, saying that was an issue for regional Australia’s workforce.<\/p>\n
He also discussed investment in defence and critical minerals with his Canadian counterpart.<\/p>\n
He stressed that he was here now: “I’m here, upfront, releasing the recommendations straight away,” he said, referring to the rapid review into the OpenAI breach.<\/p>\n
But Albanese added those international meetings were significant not only for Australia’s environmental and economic interests, but also our national security.<\/p>\n
“If we’re not showing that leadership with the Pacific, then there are national security implications as well that will be far more costly than any of the investments which are made,” he said.<\/p>\n
And that’s where we’ll leave that press conference.<\/p>\n

PM denies he loses his cool, wants Chalmers to remain treasurer<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese gets a double-barrelled question at the press conference:<\/p>\n
“Is it your preference that Jim Chalmers remains Treasurer through the next election?<\/p>\n
“And secondly the Coalition has accused you of losing your cool. Do you agree that sometimes you lose your cool?”<\/p>\n
The PM’s reply: “No on the latter, and yes on the former.”<\/p>\n

Burke refers to DeepSeek ban decision when asked about Chinese AI model ban![\"Joshua](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/lcimg-7943bb68-2817-4d03-942e-fbda568bd521.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
The prime minister has been asked whether the AI safety regulator will be mandated to consider a ban on the use of Chinese AI models in government and critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has been asked whether his department will be conducting a review of Australia’s commercial refrigerators given a cyber attack in France.<\/p>\n
Burke says the issue goes to what’s connected. He says all connected devices are potentially hackable.<\/p>\n
“Europe has seen that with respect to refrigeration. My agencies never stops, never stops working through that,” Burke says.<\/p>\n
The minister has answered the question directed at the PM on Chinese AI models. Burke says relevant national security agencies deal with that.<\/p>\n
He’s referred to the government decision to ban DeepSeek (a Chinese AI developer) on all government devices.<\/p>\n
“You’ll remember we were the first country to make decisions with respect to the use of DeepSeek for example on government devices,” he says..<\/p>\n

PM says his government is ‘united’ despite leaks against treasurer<\/p>\n
The PM has been asked if he has issued advice to his senior staff to “stop undermining the treasurer”.<\/p>\n
Senior Labor members today have been out in the press backing Jim Chalmers as leaks trickle to the media amid pressure to lower inflation.<\/p>\n
Anthony Albanese doesn’t exactly answer the question directly.<\/p>\n
“My government is a united government. We work together in a cohesive way,” he says.<\/p>\n
“We live in turbulent times. Turbulent times for the land war that continues in Europe, turbulent times with a war and conflict in the Middle East that has had an impact on global inflation, that’s had enormous impact on cost of living.<\/p>\n
“My government focuses each and every day on cost of living \u2026 and that is what my government will continue to do.”<\/p>\n

Albanese defends release timing of OpenAI rapid review<\/p>\n
The prime minister has been asked why the government hasn’t released the rapid review into the OpenAI incident before holding the press conference.<\/p>\n
Anthony Albanese has been asked what he’s afraid of by releasing the report ahead of the press conference.<\/p>\n
The prime minister says he is protecting the national interest and national security. He says they will be released in full.<\/p>\n
“We are releasing the recommendations for you to see in full. They’ve been adopted about an hour ago, on through our processes. I’m doing it the first possible opportunity. I’m doing it as prime minister and that’s appropriate,” Albanese says.<\/p>\n
Tue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:48pmTue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:48pm<\/p>\n
Albanese says he doesn’t regret initially backing US, Israel war in Iran<\/p>\n
Anthony Albanese has been asked if he backs the US and Israeli war on Iran on grounds the regime should not possess a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n
He’s also been asked whether he regrets being the first leader to back the intervention from the US and Israel.<\/p>\n
The PM hasn’t answered the first part of the question, but on the second part he has kept his answer short: “No”.<\/p>\n

PM asked about Qantas job losses<\/p>\n
Prime Minister\u00a0Anthony Albanese has been asked about the government’s steps to assure business leaders about the difficult economic environment, noting the news that Qantas will cut 850 jobs by mid-next year.<\/p>\n
“My message to the business community and indeed to all Australians is that my government works each and every day to advance our national interests including to protect our economic position,” he said.<\/p>\n
“That means making sure we try to maximise employment. We do have the lowest average unemployment of any government over the last 50 years \u2014 something that’s a source of pride.”<\/p>\n
He added AI represented enormous opportunity and is a major economic issue.<\/p>\n

Has Australia talked to the Pentagon about Nvidia Chinese spy allegations?<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister has been asked about the recent investigation into American AI tech giant Nvidia’s CEO, who admitted to an affair with a woman accused of being a Chinese spy.<\/p>\n
Given America is a Five Eyes partner, how concerned is the PM, and has the Defence Minister Richard Marles put a “please explain” to the Pentagon about what information could have been compromised?<\/p>\n
“These are very serious allegations that have been made,” Anthony Albanese says.<\/p>\n
“It is appropriate that they be properly investigated. Australia is not, of course, a party to any of that directly.”<\/p>\n
The second part of the question, to Marles, goes unanswered.<\/p>\n
Tue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:43pmTue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:43pm<\/p>\n
Albanese says treasurer is doing a ‘great job’<\/p>\n
The prime minister has been asked how concerned he is about the persistent leaking of the treasurer from within his government.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Environment Minister Murray Watt urged his colleagues not to leak against the treasurer and emphasised party unity.<\/p>\n
Anthony Albanese says the treasurer is doing a “great job”.<\/p>\n
“This is a treasurer who’s produced a couple of budgets surpluses, lower deficits, is producing economic reform, and we are continuing to work through with the mid-year economic forecast just in next month,” Albanese says.<\/p>\n
“We are continuing to work that through. I work closely with the treasurer.”<\/p>\n
Tue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:40pmTue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:40pm<\/p>\n
PM says he was ahead of concerns about data centre development<\/p>\n
The prime minister has been asked whether the social licence on artificial intelligence has been complicated by the US midterm elections.<\/p>\n
The Democrats won control of the House of Representatives and Senate in the elections last week, including in areas traditionally won by Republicans.<\/p>\n
Development of AI data centres was a major issue in the midterm elections.<\/p>\n
Anthony Albanese says he was ahead of concerns about the development of data centres when he delivered a speech earlier this year.<\/p>\n
“I think the the midterms is a reflection of what we put forward in advance in July, that unless there is social license for these companies, then there will be a lack of community support for them,” Albanese says.<\/p>\n
Tue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:33pmTue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:33pm<\/p>\n
Did OpenAI break the law?<\/p>\n
The PM is asked if OpenAI actually broke any laws when it came to the Medicare portal breach.<\/p>\n
“The point is law needs to get ahead of, and in some cases, make sure that it catches up with what is a very fast\u2013changing world,” Anthony Albanese said.<\/p>\n
He said on releasing the report, the government would make sure its national security interests were protected in that.<\/p>\n
“We don’t want to assist people or entities or governments that would seek to do us harm. So we’ll have a sensible approach to that,” he said.<\/p>\n
Tue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:32pmTue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:32pm<\/p>\n
Albanese says implications of OpenAI incident were ‘minor’<\/p>\n
A rapid review into the OpenAI incident that affected Australian government systems hasn’t been released, even though the government has accepted all recommendations.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been asked what the report found and whether the AI company breached any laws.<\/p>\n
The PM says the government will release the report. He says no personal information was accessed in the incident.<\/p>\n
“The implications of this, in fact, were minor in terms of direct implications. But that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a serious issue and that in other areas there might be more serious implications,” Albanese says.<\/p>\n
Tue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:26pmTue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:26pm<\/p>\n
Will there be constraints on Chinese AI companies?<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirms that no-one’s personal details were obtained in the OpenAI Medicare portal breach, according to the rapid review.<\/p>\n
“You will get to see the report,” Albanese says to reporters, saying it will be made public.<\/p>\n
“The clear indication is that no information was got, that involves people’s personal details.”<\/p>\n
He is asked what constraints the new framework will put around Chinese AI companies and if they will be able to operate in Australia.<\/p>\n
“We’ll deal with things appropriately,” he said, including national security issues.<\/p>\n
Tue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:23pmTue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:23pm<\/p>\n
Albanese says Jimmy Barnes should be ‘clearer’ on his views about AI<\/p>\n
Onto questions now, and the PM has been asked about concerns raised by Australian artist Jimmy Barnes on artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n
Barnes has raised concerns about AI companies seeking to mine and scrape artists’ work to train their models.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Barnes needs to be “clearer” on his views on matters like these and “shouldn’t beat around the bush”.<\/p>\n
“What he should do is have look at the speech that I gave in July where I made it very clear,” Albanese says.<\/p>\n
“You have here in this prime minister and this arts minister, two people who not only get great pleasure from listening to Australian music but believe it’s absolutely critical that Australian stories get told and one of the way they get told is through the unique brilliance of Australian music.”<\/p>\n
Albanese is referring to a speech he gave earlier this year, setting out a framework for AI development and data centres.<\/p>\n

Burke says AI can expose vulnerabilities within hours<\/p>\n
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says Australia needs to ensure it gets the principles of artificial intelligence (AI) right.<\/p>\n
Burke says AI can find vulnerabilities within AI systems in 10 hours. He says Australia’s laws and systems need to be able to keep pace.<\/p>\n
“The mandatory reporting when artificial intelligence goes rogue gives us a chance to be able to make sure that when this happens, the reporting occurs and occurs immediately,” Burke says.<\/p>\n

Better coordination needed between agencies for AI safety,<\/p>\n
Defence Minister Richard Marles says among the 18 recommendations from the rapid review, the need to engage with frontier AI companies is at the core.<\/p>\n
“This is not a technology we can run away from,” he said.<\/p>\n
“There needs to be greater risk management of the AI capabilities.”<\/p>\n
He said increased coordination is needed across agencies spanning departments of Defence, Industry and Home Affairs, including the Australian Signals Directorate and the Australian Cyber Security Centre, as well as the AI Safety Institute.<\/p>\n
Tue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:11pmTue 10 Nov 2026 at 12:11pm<\/p>\n
PM outlines six mandated actions for AI companies<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says there will be six clear recommendations or mandated actions artificial intelligence companies will be required to take. They include:<\/p>\n
Maintain security controls across all stages of development and deployment.Identify and manage serious risks associated with their models.\u00a0Provide mandatory notification of incidents to the Australian government rapidly.Allow independent evaluation of their models.Maintain and publish safety and security frameworks to ensure good governance, risk management and transparency.\u00a0Respond to update standards and rules as technologies change.<\/p>\n
The prime minister says these protections are aligned with the recommendations from the Joint Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n

Taylor refuses to be drawn on leaks about treasurer<\/p>\n
Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has refused to weigh in on the leaks to the media about Treasurer Jim Chalmers.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Environment Minister Murray Watt said he would like leaks coming from Labor MPs to stop.<\/p>\n
This morning, Assistant Ministers Andrew Charlton and Daniel Mulino threw their support around the treasurer.<\/p>\n
“That’s a matter for Labor. But this is the point. We’ve got a government in chaos. We’ve got a treasurer in hiding, and we have a prime minister fleeing the country again. Do your job,” Taylor says.<\/p>\n
Tue 10 Nov 2026 at 11:54amTue 10 Nov 2026 at 11:54am<\/p>\n
Taylor attributes Qantas job cuts to federal government<\/p>\n
Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has stepped up for a press conference in Melbourne with the Victorian Opposition Leader Jess Wilson.<\/p>\n
The opposition leader has been asked about the news Qantas will cut 850 corporate jobs from mid-2027.<\/p>\n
The Qantas Group chief executive Vanessa Hudson has said the airline has struck an outsourcing deal with Accenture.<\/p>\n
Taylor has laid the blame on the federal government, saying Labor is in “chaos” and the treasurer is in hiding.<\/p>\n
“What we’ve got is a government that’s in chaos, a treasurer who’s in hiding and a prime minister who’s fleeing the country again and so we need a government that’s on the job,” Taylor says.<\/p>\n

Digital Duty of Care bill faces second day of inquiry<\/p>\n
Liberal senator Sarah Henderson says the government needs to address holes in the Digital Duty of Care legislation, which is before a Senate inquiry for a second day today.<\/p>\n
Henderson says the Coalition has concerns that the laws could allow the government “to shut down lawful speech”, but Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has dismissed censorship concerns as “baseless” and the “talking points of big tech”.<\/p>\n
Henderson said the bill is a “dog’s breakfast” and was a “shocking failure” by Communications Minister Anika Wells.<\/p>\n
Henderson cited concerns from Google that it may have to prevent users under 18 from accessing Gmail, as well as the eSafety Commission’s concerns.<\/p>\n
The eSafety Commission, in its submission to the inquiry, made some recommendations about how to strengthen the legislation, including clear definitions for new key terms and harms.<\/p>\n
It noted that once the digital duty of care comes into effect, the Online Safety Codes and Standards will be repealed, and that the new legislation “does not provide any mechanism to set specific obligations”.<\/p>\n
The commission said the bill could be amended “to allow for minimum obligations to be prescribed under a disallowable legislative instrument”, adding that legislative instruments are more flexible and future-proof compared to embedding obligations in the law.<\/p>\n

COP31 summit targets major electrification push as 1.5C goal slips away<\/p>\n
A pledge to have 35 per cent of the world powered by electricity by 2035 is the central aim of UN climate talks in T\u00fcrkiye this week, as the international summit concedes for the first time that global temperatures will rise more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.<\/p>\n
Australia and T\u00fcrkiye are joint presidents of this year’s UN meeting on climate change.<\/p>\n
Climate change minister Chris Bowen told the opening session of the conference that it was meeting “at a moment of consequence, whether it be glacial collapse in Nepal, heat deaths in Europe, or an intensifying El Ni\u00f1o” .<\/p>\n
“Climate change is here. It is not a forecast. It is not a prediction. It is the lived reality for billions of people.”<\/p>\n

‘No wonder’ backbench is leaking against treasurer, Liberal says<\/p>\n
Liberal senator Sarah Henderson says she’s not surprised by leaks against Treasurer Jim Chalmers.<\/p>\n
The Labor treasurer is under pressure to find savings in the budget as inflation rises and interest rate hikes are taking their toll on mortgage-borrowers.<\/p>\n
Senior members of the government have been out defending the treasurer today, saying his job is safe.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters in the press gallery, Henderson says Chalmers is “failing Australians” and condemns the budget, adding that many people are feeling economic pain.<\/p>\n
“Jim Chalmers is toxic within his own party,” Henderson says.<\/p>\n
“It is no wonder that Labor’s backbench is briefing out against Jim Chalmers.”<\/p>\n

Why are fossil fuel lobbyists at the UN climate change summit?<\/p>\n
Nicolette Boele, the Independent MP for Bradfield, is the only non-government politician at COP31.<\/p>\n
She says it’s not unusual for lots of fossil fuel lobbyists to be present.<\/p>\n
“The World Health Organization, when they meet to talk about tobacco, they don’t usually have people from the tobacco industry turning up,” she told ABC Radio National Breakfast.<\/p>\n
The independent MP said it puts into question the efficacy and integrity of negotiations.<\/p>\n
When asked about the Coalition’s argument that the government needs to cut back on climate change mitigation measures to rein in spending and lower inflation, Boele says she’s not buying that argument.<\/p>\n
She says fossil fuels have been a “major part” of the “savage cost of living crisis, made even worse by the war in Iran”.<\/p>\n
“So I would say to the Coalition: when you’ve got a problem created by fossil fuels about dependency on international markets, we need to double down on our energy sovereignty,” she says.<\/p>\n
“And one of the best ways to do that is to electrify our economy, to make sure that we have homegrown, Aussie, clean energy here with solar and wind.”<\/p>\n
Tue 10 Nov 2026 at 8:45amTue 10 Nov 2026 at 8:45am<\/p>\n
Australia needs to have ‘tricky conversations’ at COP31<\/p>\n
Independent MP Nicolette Boele, who worked in clean energy and climate finance for decades before entering politics, is in T\u00fcrkiye for COP31.<\/p>\n
She tells ABC Radio National Breakfast\u00a0Australia is in the spotlight and needs to be ambitious to keep global warming at 1.5 degrees or lower.<\/p>\n
“That’s a really important target. Our Pacific family has asked for it and we know we’ve overshot it. We’ve got to work harder on that,” she said.<\/p>\n
Boele says Australia needs to have some “really tricky conversations”.<\/p>\n
“We have a really interesting dilemma. We are on path to electrify and switch our energy to renewables, but we’re also one of the largest exporters of fossil fuels in the world,” she says.<\/p>\n
The PM will fly to the UN’s climate change summit in T\u00fcrkiye today, where Australia’s Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen is serving as president for negotiations.<\/p>\n

Tehan urges government to push back against ‘green tariffs’ at COP31<\/p>\n
Shadow Energy Minister Dan Tehan has urged the government to push back against so-called “green tariffs” at COP31 in T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n
The prime minister is travelling to T\u00fcrkiye today to attend the conference, where leaders are expected to make a pledge to have 35 per cent of the world powered by electricity by 2035.<\/p>\n
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is used by the European Union to address carbon leakage by aligning the carbon costs of foreign producers with those of EU producers.<\/p>\n
Speaking to ABC Radio National Breakfast, Tehan says Labor has to counter “harebrained ideas” that would lock Australia into trade agreements embedded with CBAM.<\/p>\n
“What we’re deeply concerned about, and I think we’ll see approaches in T\u00fcrkiye at this climate change conference for this to be embedded, and this is something the Australian government should fight,” Tehan says.<\/p>\n
“This is a step back for the globe. It’s not the right approach that countries should take \u2026 This will be a backward step and my hope is we will see our government fight this tooth and nail.”<\/p>\n

Greens hold firm on demand to allow citizens to sue social media companies<\/p>\n
The Greens are holding firm on their calls to include a right for people to sue social media companies in Labor’s Digital Duty of Care bill.<\/p>\n
The bill, if passed, will require big tech companies to prevent and mitigate harm on their platforms for users younger than 18.<\/p>\n
Labor’s bill will also allow all social media users to opt out of addictive algorithms.<\/p>\n
The Coalition has opposed the bill in its current form, which means Labor needs the Greens to pass the bill through the upper house.<\/p>\n
Speaking to ABC News Breakfast, Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young says her party wants citizens to have the right to sue social media companies.<\/p>\n
“The government legislation goes some way, but not all the way. We want to make sure Australians have the right to take action against social media companies, if they are indeed harmed using them online,” Hanson-Young says.<\/p>\n
“American citizens can do that. We’ve seen changes in the United States because American citizens have been able to take these companies to court. They should be able to do the same thing here in Australia”<\/p>\n

Charlton says Labor caucus is behind treasurer, despite leaks<\/p>\n
Assistant Minister Andrew Charlton says Labor is right behind Jim Chalmers after the environment minister urged colleagues to stop leaking against the treasurer.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Murray Watt said he would like the leaking against the treasurer to stop and emphasised the importance of party unity.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Channel Seven this morning, Charlton says Chalmers is doing a good job given the challenges facing the Australian economy.<\/p>\n
“Jim Chalmers is really facing into those challenges, whether it be getting inflation down by delivering two budget surpluses or helping young Australians to buy their first home,” Charlton says.<\/p>\n
Asked who is leaking against the treasurer, Charlton initially deflected but says he thinks the caucus supports the treasurer.<\/p>\n
“I think the caucus supports Jim Chalmers because they know he’s doing a good job in in a difficult time. I’m not going to speculate on leaks that people aren’t putting their name to.”<\/p>\n
Asked if he would take the treasurer’s job if it were up for grabs, Charlton says he’s focused on his own job:<\/p>\n
“I’m very focused on my job. I’m working on artificial intelligence.”<\/p>\n

Mulino says treasurer is ‘absolutely’ safe<\/p>\n
The assistant treasurer says Jim Chalmers is safe in his job after a cabinet minister urged his colleagues to stop leaking against the treasurer.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Environment Minister Murray Watt warned his ministerial and backbench colleagues to stop leaking.<\/p>\n
Asked if Chalmers is safe in his role as treasurer, Mulino says he is “absolutely” safe.<\/p>\n
“The treasurer is working on one-in-25-year tax reform with the PM and with, obviously, the cabinet and the whole caucus,” Mulino says.<\/p>\n
“The treasurer is leading a very ambitious program. The tax reforms are going to be very important for productivity growth, but also for fairness.”<\/p>\n
