Anthony Albanese's China visit: Prime Minister set to travel to Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu from Saturday
Anthony Albanese has confirmed his visit to China from Saturday, when he is heading to Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu. The Prime Minister is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang for the annual bilateral leaders' dialogue during the trip that will span nearly a week. Trade is expected to be high on the agenda, with these meetings the first since China lifted its final barriers on Australian exports. The ban on Australian lobsters was lifted in December. 'China's an important trading partner for Australia – 25 per cent of our exports go to China. What that means is jobs, and one of the things that my government prioritises is jobs,' Mr Albanese said on Tuesday. 'What we have done is to get rid of the more than $20 billion of impediments on goods that were stopped from going to China. 'It's made an enormous difference … products like wine and barley have not just bounced back, they've bounced back higher than they were before.' This will be the fourth time Mr Albanese has met Mr Xi. The talks come as uncertainty continues around US President Donald Trump's tariffs. The US President has publicly issued letters he has sent to several countries, including Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa and Serbia, informing them he will lift the rate of tariffs imposed on them from 10 per cent to a 'reciprocal' level from August 1. Australia, which has a trade surplus with the US, does not expect to be hit with anything higher than the 10 per cent base rate. China's ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, this week called for Australia to expand its trade deal with his country to include greater cooperation on artificial intelligence. Mr Albanese brushed off questions about his approach to this, saying Australia would determine its own policy. Australia is working with the US and UK to cooperate on developing AI and advanced military capabilities as part of AUKUS Pillar II.

Update for Aus as Trump sends tariff letters
Australian goods may not be getting slugged with higher US tariffs, but that does not mean the country is getting the best deal possible, the opposition says. Donald Trump has begun sending out letters to countries that failed to lock in new trading terms with the US. The letters informed them their exports to the US would be hit with new tariff rates from August 1. The countries included close allies Japan and South Korea, which both face 25 per cent imposts. For others, the new rate is as high as 40 per cent. Australia was not named among those facing 'reciprocal tariffs' announced in April but was instead subjected to the universal 10 per cent taxes on all foreign imports – a position Anthony Albanese has said he did not expect to change. Opposition finance spokesman James Paterson said on Tuesday any tariffs on Australia were unacceptable but the Prime Minister had not given Australia the 'best chance' of getting a carve out. 'The only fair tariff on Australia would be 0 per cent, and I hope that's what we get,' Senator Paterson told Nine's Today. 'But we haven't given ourselves the best chance of securing that from the Trump administration because the Prime Minister has not even met President Trump now, seven months after he was elected. 'In stark contrast to other world leaders, like the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer who did secure an exemption from steel and aluminium tariffs for the UK because of the personal relationship that he formed with President Trump. 'I really hope the Prime Minister doesn't leave it any longer before he forms that relationship and argues for the best case possible for our country.' Opposition finance spokesman James Paterson says the 'only fair tariff for Australia' is 0 per cent. David Crosling / NewsWire Credit: News Corp Australia The UK and Vietnam are the only countries to secure deals with the Trump administration. Though, neither have escaped the US President's levies altogether, with Vietnam still subject to 20 per cent duties. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said his efforts to build a strong personal relationship with Mr Trump helped secure tariff leniency, particularly on automakers. British cars were facing a 25 per cent rate, but that was dropped to 10 per cent. Similarly, British steel and aluminium have remained at the initial 25 per cent rate, while Australian steel and aluminium have been swept up in the 50 per cent rate. But speaking to Sky News, Assistant Treasurer Dan Mulino insisted the Albanese government was 'clearly continuing to argue for the best possible deal'. 'My understanding is that we are still at the position of having a 10 per cent tariff imposed, but the good news is that that is the lowest rate that any country has been able to secure,' he said. 'So we'll continue to argue for the best possible deal, and we'll continue to argue for it to be lower than that.' Mr Mulino went on to cite Productivity Commission analysis that suggested Australia could have an advantage over other countries because 'if we're lower than other countries, that might present opportunities for us to increase our trade with the US'. 'In some situations, the tariffs the US imposing might also offer opportunities for us to secure goods from other countries that might be redirecting their trade to other parts of the world,' he said.

Travel chaos in Bali as travellers forced to wait days for flights after volcano erupts
Some travellers are being warned it could be days until new flights are available after the eruption of a volcano at a holiday island in Indonesia forced the cancellation of dozens of flights. Hundreds of Australian travellers have been left in the lurch after the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki near Bali caused an 18-kilometre volcanic ash column on Monday, prompting the cancellation of flights in and out of the tourist hotspot. Jetstar, Virgin and AirAsia have cancelled all their flights, with limited flights out of the country still operating through Qantas and Garuda. Volcanic ash has a significant risk of causing aeroplane engine damage, and has the potential to cause the engine to stall or fail, with the duration of ash's impact dependent on the eruption's size and the prevailing winds. Frustrated travellers at Denpasar Airport have been forced to find alternative accommodation and are unsure of when they'll be able to return to Australia. Some travellers have been told it could be days until replacement flights are sent. 'Cancelled for tonight, meant to go to Rockhampton, Australia, but now I've got to wait two days,' one passenger told Sunrise. 'So the next flight is two days' time.' Other travellers saw the lighter side of being stuck on a holiday island. 'I'm very upset, we didn't realise we would have another day on the beach,' one woman said. 'Very, very sad, yeah, but hopefully we can get home.' Qantas said it was monitoring the situation closely and that 'safety is always our top priority'. 'We will contact customers directly if their flight is disrupted,' a spokesperson told in a statement. Some Virgin services have also been cancelled. Smart traveller is warning passengers of cancelled flights. 'If your flight is affected, contact your airline and insurance provider for alternative travel and accommodation arrangements.' Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, located at the southeastern part of the island of Flores, last erupted on June 17. The mountain also erupted in November, killing nine people and injuring dozens. There have been no reported injuries or casualties from Monday's eruption.
