GREG JENNETT, HOST: Bringing in our political panel and joining us right here in the studio, we're pleased to say once again, Labor MP Patrick Gorman, welcome Pat and Liberal MP James Stevens is here face to face, both of you. Why don't we start with you, Patrick Gorman? The changes in mood that are intended by rule changes and what have you, Question Time rule changes as well. Do you think they're working? I know we've only had one sample session of Question Time so far, but it's still pretty robust sort of exchanges there.

TOM CONNELL, HOST: Patrick Gorman, thanks for your time. 43% emissions reduction target negotiations going on right now. So what is on the table? What's Labor willing to compromise on?

The new Parliament gives Australia a fresh start. A new opportunity to express our love of this country and what we can achieve together.

Today the 47th Parliament will sit for the first time. New voices. Experienced ministers. A big agenda.

From the smoking ceremony to open the Parliament through to the first speeches of Australia’s newest representatives. The symbolism for renewal is strong.

Parliament will be different. More respectful debate, more diversity, more family friendly.

Sorry Business is of the deepest cultural importance to First Nations people.

It is vital that traditional mourning practises be allowed to continue despite the collapse of the Youpla Group funeral contribution funds earlier this year.

That is why the Albanese Government intends to resolve the uncertainty for the families of deceased Youpla Group policy holders so they can get on with Sorry Business.

The Government intends making payments to meet unpaid Youpla Group funeral fund claims until November 30, 2023.

SENATOR KATY GALLAGHER, MINISTER FOR WOMEN: Thank you very much for coming today. Amanda Rishworth and I are here just following a very successful meeting of women's ministers and Women's Safety ministers from around the country. This was the first meeting in person of those portfolios on hold, and it was a really important meeting to get everybody together to talk about all of the issues across the women's and women safety portfolio.

Today, Commonwealth, state and territory governments agreed on a pathway to finalise the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–32.

Minister for Women Senator the Hon Katy Gallagher and Minister for Social Services the Hon Amanda Rishworth MP met with state and territory ministerial counterparts to discuss the important issues affecting women in Australia.

GREG JENNETT, HOST: Katy Gallagher, thanks for joining us. Look, listening to the words and reading some of the statements coming out of your discussions there, particularly on women's safety, we're hearing a lot of aspiration, pathways to finalisation, clear goals and aspirations we're told, but is there some sticking point? Why wasn't more substantial progress made in what I think was going to be an important set of discussions at the first face-to-face in about five years?

PATRICIA KARVELAS, HOST: The Minister for Women Katy Gallagher will host today's talks, the first face-to-face meeting since the election. Katy Gallagher joins us this morning, Minister welcome.

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

PATRICIA KARVELAS, HOST: Pleas to block a recently approved billion dollar fertiliser plant in WA have been heard by the federal government. Traditional Owners had been heavily pressuring the Environment Minister to intervene in the construction of the planned Burrup Peninsula plant which they say removes their cultural property, the world's oldest rock art. Here's traditional owner, Raelene Cooper speaking to RN breakfast earlier this week.

The Albanese Labor Government is committed to protecting First Nations artists and businesses from the scourge of fake visual arts and crafts.

The Government welcomes the Productivity Commission’s draft report into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual arts and crafts, which has been released today, as an important first step.

Minister for the Arts, Tony Burke, said the Government is committed to ensuring Indigenous artists and businesses benefit from their art and are not undercut by fakes.
