Senator Tim Ayres

Featured in the Northern Daily Leader over the weekend: Mr Joyce doesn’t know much. There is a big gap between Peter Dutton’s culture war extremism on energy and regional Australians who are focused on growth, good jobs and opportunity for their communities.

“The govt’s Future Made in Australia strategy is essentially about rebuilding #manufacturing capability in areas where we have proficiency, a skills base & ultimately a competitive advantage” ⚙️📡🔬 Comment on next steps @abcnews @ahmedyussuf10 abc.net.au/news/2024-08-1… @ayrestim

Peter Dutton's latest WA visit has been a complete failure. Here's @ayrestim to explain why. #auspol

“Now is the time to reindustrialise Australia’s economy , compete globally & create good jobs with mission-focused industrial policy” says Tim Ayres, assistant minister for #FutureMadeinAustralia at National Manufacturing Summit @ayrestim @CntrFutureWork @TheAusInstitute

“We are at an historical juncture where Australia has the opportunity to reindustrialise – from metals processing through to #quantum, from production through to advanced #manufacturing & #innovation” says @ayrestim 👍👍👍innovationaus.com/our-opportunit… @Innov_Aus

❗ UPDATED ALERT ❗ ASD’s ACSC understand a number of malicious websites and unofficial code are being released claiming to help entities recover from the CrowdStrike technical incident.

Another trade win for Australian farmers with Japan lifting restrictions on the varieties of Australian grapes it will import. In just the last year, we’ve opened more than 60 markets for Aussie meat, horticulture & seafood, which means better returns for our farmers.

On “set” for @abcnews this morning, live from Armidale, where it’s a cosy one degree.

We've just introduced our bill to make more things here at home.

This lie will haunt Peter Dutton every day until election day. “I don’t support the establishment of big nuclear facilities here at all. I’m opposed to it." - Peter Dutton, 2 March 2023 #auspol

Short version: because it’s a disaster.

In 2015, Australian doctors voted Peter Dutton the worst Health Minister in living memory. Unsurprisingly, his time as Home Affairs Minister was just as bad.

2/2 Delighted that the OECD has opened membership negotiations with Indonesia and is considering an application from Thailand.

1/2 Australia’s prosperity and economic future is intimately linked to Southeast Asia. I am in Paris to attend the @OECD Ministerial Council Meeting and celebrate the 10th Anniversary of its Southeast Asia Regional Programme. @dfat @AusOECD

A very big crowd here today for the #NoMore march. Really important message to all of us from today’s rallies around the country. Great to see PM @AlboMP will be at tomorrow’s march in Canberra - strong solidarity from leaders matters. #WhatWereYouWearing #auspol

This morning I was on site at Varley, a train manufactuer in Newcastle, talking about the Government's plans for a Future Made in Australa Well…when I could get a word in over @Barnaby_Joyce shouting about... I'm not sure what to be honest.

A wrap on Deputy Prime Minister Seremaiah's productive & action-packed visit to Australia. Featuring a full agenda at Parliament House, unlocking new trade & economic opportunities through the Vanuatu Consulate-General in Sydney, @Socceroos and a shell of kava on Sydney harbour!

We were welcomed to today's lecture with a Ministerial Welcome provided by Senator The Hon Tim Ayres, Assistant Minister for Manufacturing and Assistant Minister for Trade. Vice-Chancellor Prof Andrew Parfitt also welcomed our audience here today to @UTSEngage @MazzucatoM

Tomorrow I am in Sydney giving a keynote @UTSEngage followed by a discussion with @ProfRoyGreen @ayrestim & Andrew Parfitt on lessons from my books #MissionEconomy and #BigCon how to build state capacity—instead of outsourcing— for mission-oriented economic strategies.
