I would like to begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, the Wadjuk people of the Nyoongar nation, and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

I extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with us here today.

I acknowledge President of Relationships Australia WA, Chris Lewis.

Vice Presidents Tony Dobbs and Noelene Jennings.

And board members David Nicholson and Lisa Woods.

MATTHEW DORAN, HOST: Joining us now from Sydney is the Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister, Patrick Gorman. Patrick Gorman, welcome to Afternoon Briefing. So is it the BOM? Is it the Bureau? What is it?

Regional communities across Australia will be the beneficiaries of new Australian Public Service (APS) jobs as part of the APS Academy Campus Initiative which is now open for applications.

The APS Academy Campuses will enable Australians wanting a career-change and students in Darwin, Newcastle, Launceston and Townsville to skill up in data and digital roles in the APS, while remaining at home in their communities.

The APS Academy Campuses will offer around 300 flexible data and digital training and entry-level employment opportunities with the APS over three years.

The Australian Government has committed $2 million over two years to expand the holistic case management and support offered to young First Nations people in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions.

The program will be delivered by the Aboriginal Legal Service of Western Australia (ALSWA) and will provide culturally appropriate, wrap-around services to young people navigating the criminal justice system.

PATRICIA KARVELAS, HOST: It's a devastating and shocking fact that one woman dies in Australia every 10 days at the hands of a current or former partner. Today the Federal Government is releasing its 10 year plan with the aim of ending violence against women and children. Katy Gallagher is the Minister for Women and Finance. Minister, welcome to RN Breakfast.

SENATOR THE HON KATY GALLAGHER, MINISTER FOR WOMEN: Thanks for having me on, PK.

ROSS GREENWOOD, HOST: Against that backdrop, the Government is framing its first Federal Budget. And it has lessons from the British Government, which caused a market landslide by cutting taxes to stimulate its economy. At the same time, the Bank of England was raising interest rates to try and slow it. It shows the actions of government are closely watched and acted upon by the markets. Well, Finance Minister Katy Gallagher joins me now. Thanks for your time, minister.

ZANETA MASCARENAHS, MEMBER FOR SWAN Good morning and welcome to Kings Park. My name's Zaneta Mascarenhas. I'm the Member for Swan and I'm here with Assistant Minister Patrick Gorman. How are you? I hope you're having a great morning. The thing that I'm really excited about is an Anthony Albanese Labor Government is wanting to provide a cost of living budget, which also provides an economic dividend for all Australians and that's something that we're wanting to do. We're wanting to be responsible.
