Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will visit Varley Engineering at Carrington this morning to discuss the National Reconstruction Fund.
It is expected Mr Albanese will restate the government's commitment to reinvigorating Australia's manufacturing industry.
Mr Albanese launched Labor's National Rail Manufacturing Plan at Varley Engineering in late 2020.
"The trains we can see here were made in China, but they are being fixed up here in Newcastle. Wouldn't it be better if we got it right the first time and made them here rather than retro-fit them when they come here," Mr Albanese said at the time.
