TOM CONNELL, HOST: We have the Federal Government today saying that there could be a fuel emissions standard. They are at least wanting to open up that discussion. It's all about getting lower emissions vehicles into the country, including electric vehicles and hybrid as well. Joining me live for more on this is Patrick Gorman, the Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister. Thanks very much for your time. This was something Labor took to 2019, that election, then it said it wouldn't go ahead with it. Now it might again. Isn't that a broken election promise?
LINDA BURNEY, MINISTER FOR INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS: Good afternoon. We are on the beautiful Thursday Island in the Torres Strait. I'm here with Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, and also Nita Green who's a Senator for Queensland. We've had a fabulous morning meeting with community groups, including the Torres Strait Regional Council, and listening and talking about the Voice to Parliament. I'll hand over to the Prime Minister.
The Ministers responsible for Indigenous Affairs from all States and Territories and the Commonwealth met today via videoconference to discuss the Implementation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and other key priorities.
They acknowledged the valuable contribution that First Nations peoples make both in Australia’s rich history and bright future.

A world-class Aboriginal Cultural Centre for Western Australia is a step closer to becoming a reality with the selection of a Terrace Road site as the preferred location for the centre.
The site was chosen primarily because of its connection to the Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan), Heirisson Island (Matta Gerup) and Kings Park (Katta Koomba), which are places of cultural significance to the Noongar people.

MARK MCGOWAN, WA PREMIER: Thank you for joining us. Can I, first of all, acknowledge the traditional owners of the land upon which we meet today, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation, and their elders, past, present and emerging. And can I thank Barry for his excellent welcome to country. And can I thank the members of the Whadjuk Cultural Authority who are here with us today. We've done an enormous amount of work in getting to the point that we're at this point in time.
