Key questions the episode works through:

- When "Australian made" on a battery means an ABN and an overseasproduct, what is the government actually procuring?
- LFP cell chemistry is essentially exclusively sourced from China.What does that mean for any operations manager whose infrastructure depends on it?
- What does battery resilience look like when it is tested not in a procurement document but in a cyclone — specifically, Cyclone Alfred on Moreton Island?
- Why do most battery companies refuse to provide cell-level visibility to operators, and what does that cost when a system is deployed somewhere you cannot reach quickly?
- Energy resilience is an engineering outcome, not a policy setting. But you need the right policies to get there. Australia does not currently have
them.

✔️ Infrastructure moves that hedge energy and supply risk
✔️ Timing tactics for funds stuck in over-long cycles

Among the innovators we've talked about Gilmore Space Technologies (Adam Gilmour), PsiQuantum Australia and Hugging Face (all private-market plays):
