Thank you friends for joining me on the politics live blog today!

I am going to end our coverage here!

Off the back of the US steel and aluminium tariffs, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been pushing hard for shoppers to buy Aussie made. Just look at his Instagram.

Over in Canada, local media is reporting that a push to buy Canadian is taking off, with red maple leafs and prominent displays highlighting locally-made goods.

CBC reports that retailers have launched marketing campaigns to capture the consumer demand, while there's news, too, that customers are quickly turning away from American products.

Perhaps that's because the anti-Trump sentiment from the government has been building for a while now.

But what about Australia? Will we see more green and gold at the shops?

I reached out to Coles, Woolworths and Aldi to see if they'd seen a rise in shoppers flocking to Australian goods and abandoning American products.

Coles didn't answer that question, but said it already works to ensure packaged goods clearly show where they were made and packed. 

The supermarket also pointed out the vast majority of its fresh produce is sourced locally.

Woolworths and Aldi chose not to comment.

But it's possible this "Team Australia" approach will grow further. A government source has flagged the upcoming budget will have a Buy Australian flavour to it.

There's also growing concern US President Donald Trump's tariff agenda will only continue.

Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell said he was most concerned about tariffs potentially hitting agricultural and pharmaceutical goods because Australia sells a lot of those products to the US.

Earlier Anthony Albanese was asked about the international call for world leaders to discuss a potential peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.

The call is set to take place tomorrow night.

You can read more about who will be on the call and what it may include here:

In a joint press release from the PM, the industry and science minister and the climate change and energy minister, the Labor government has announced a $750 million to boost development of new technologies to ensure Australia's metals manufacturers remain globally competitive.

It will be administered independently through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).

The press release said this latest investment is part of more than $5 billion now allocated to supercharge Australian metals industry.

"That's why we are allocating funding to back our local metals manufacturers to seize the opportunities of the future.

"We've got the resources, the workers, and the know-how — the only thing we don't have is time to waste," Albanese said.

Anthony Albanese has accused Opposition Leader Peter Dutton of walking away from supporting Ukraine.

"Australia has of course stood with Ukraine since the beginning of this process. It did have a bipartisan position. It appears that Mr Dutton has walked away from that. That’s a decision for him. 

"But we stand with Ukraine and we stand against and remain committed to opposing the actions of Vladimir Putin."

Anthony Albanese was asked if the GST deal with WA was a bit like the show MAFS (Married at First Sight), where it feels like a marriage that is hard for you to defend at the dinner table with the other states.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese dodged the question by saying: "I am pro marriage, I hope to have one this year."

Anthony Albanese will join a phone hook-up with world leaders to discuss a potential peacekeeping mission to Ukraine.

He says the government is looking forward to there being peace in the Ukraine.

"But we don't have to think very hard about which side we are on in this conflict.

"Russia is the aggressor. Russia invaded a sovereign nation in Ukraine and has had committed atrocities against civilians," he says.

"It is an illegal and immoral war. This can end tomorrow if Vladimir Putin ends this illegal and immoral invasion and goes back to his own borders."

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is speaking now in Perth.

You can watch the presser from the top of the page.

Shadow Minister for Home Affairs James Paterson said while he agrees US influencer Sam Jones behaved "appallingly", he wished the immigration minister "put as much effort into cancelling the visas of hardened criminals". 

He had this to say on 4BC breakfast this morning in an interview with Peter Fegan:

I have to say, I wish Tony Burke put as much effort into cancelling the visas of hardened criminals released into the community who have committed crimes against Australians and Hezbollah and Hamas supporters that this government has brought into our country. 

By all means, deport this person who's been cruel to a wombat. 

But how about terrorist supporters and violent criminals get deported too?

The Greens are questioning whether Labor rushed mandatory sentencing laws through parliament under "false pretences" after the Dural caravan plot was revealed to be a hoax.

Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi has demanded the laws be revisited and repealed when parliament next meets.
