Internal Department of Industry communications from February 2025 show preparation for the Prime Minister's announcement of the $500 million Future Made in Australia Innovation Fund. The documents include media and speechwriting staff distributing the PM's speech, which committed to strengthening local content requirements for government procurement of Australian-produced steel and aluminium. The announcement flagged plans to work with states, territories, businesses, and unions to establish new, more ambitious local content targets. The disclosed materials are primarily procedural—internal circulation of the public announcement—rather than substantive implementation planning documents, policy analysis, or departmental assessment of the local content framework's design or feasibility.
