The Albanese Government has rolled out its Cheaper Home Batteries Program which could save people who install a new solar and battery system up to $2,300 a year.

Former 2GB and 9News broadcaster and current Clean Energy Council spokesman Chris O'Keefe told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, " If you've got rooftop solar, people listening right now know it saves them money."

"If you put a household battery with it, it can save you, instead of $1,300 a year, $2,300 a year off your power bill."

"The idea is bring the upfront cost down to make it more enticing for people to do it, and that benefits everybody because we've got one in four Australians that have got rooftop solar panels, yet only one in 40 have home batteries."

"So, clearly there's an opportunity there to plug that gap. If we plug it, it's good for people's bills." O'Keefe continued.

The problems within the taxi and uber industries have been brought back into the spotlight following some events over the weekend.

Taxi Council of Queensland CEO Blair Davies told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "They think that they're making some easy money, but there's a $3,000 fine that can be issued to them."

"What we need is we need more compliance officers out of the state government to get out there and catch these folk."

"The drivers are unsupervised because they're working for themselves."

"There's only so much that a cab company can do without strong support from state government compliance officers," Mr. Davies said.

The Albanese Government has promised to extend the instant asset write-off for tradies if re-elected which would allow small businesses and trade workers to deduct $20,000 in essential purchases off the tax they pay.

Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "It's a complete con job and I actually don't think you can believe it just four weeks before an election."

"This Labor Party had been prepared to let this tax break fall to just $1,000 for our tradies and our small businesses."

"We pressured them in the budget week to maintain it at $20,000 and they've done that for one more year." Mrs. Ley said.

Donald Trump has announced a baseline 10 per cent on all imports to the US as well as “reciprocal tariffs” on all countries of “approximately half” of what they charge America.

Anthony Albanese has had his response saying the tariffs have "no basis or logic" and that they are "not the act of a friend." 

Shadow Trade Minister Kevin Hogan told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "History teaches us this, when countries start to have trade wars, lift tariffs, it slows down global growth and slows down everyone's economy."

"One in four jobs in Australia are directly related to an export industry and then there'd be lots of other indirect jobs related to that."

"We want the global growth to grow, it's good for our exporters and I think this is going to have a detrimental effect on us," Mr. Hogan said.
