Thank you for the warm introduction and I acknowledge all of the people who have put this amazing event together, including the Global Institute of Women in Leadership and the Hatchery.

To Cath Jules and Andrew Savage and your team, thank you – it’s a huge effort that goes into making an event like this run smoothly.

I’d also like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet and pay my respects to elders past and present.

I extend that respect to all First Nations people joining us today.

Subjects: Low-Cost Essentials Subsidy Scheme, Palm Island Spring Festival.

Subject: Low-Cost Essentials Subsidy Scheme delivering cost of living relief.

ALLAN NEILSON, HOST: The Albanese Labor Government is delivering on its commitment to ease cost of living pressures in remote First Nations communities, with 100 stores now enrolled on the Low-Cost Essentials Subsidy Scheme. On my program this morning I have Senator Malarndirri McCarthy to share the good news. Welcome to TEABBA.

The Albanese Labor Government is delivering on its commitment to ease cost of living pressures in remote First Nations communities, with 100 stores now enrolled in the Low-Cost Essentials Subsidy Scheme.

From Wirrimanu, in Western Australia’s Kimberley region, to Lajamanu on the edge of the Tanami Desert in the Northern Territory, from Indulkana in South Australia’s Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands to Boigu Island, the most northerly inhabited island of Queensland, communities will see the benefits of cheaper groceries and household staples.

KIERAN GILBERT, HOST: Let's bring in the Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister, Patrick Gorman. Are you encouraged watching the developments in New York there on the Let Them Be Kids campaign and the government's legislation on social media? It looks like it's getting some traction there.

The Albanese Government is delivering more than $3 million to better identify and protect First Nations cultural heritage values at existing World and National Heritage listed places.

While many iconic heritage sites are listed for their natural, cultural or historic value, First Nations cultural heritage values have long been under-represented.

REBECCA WHITE, ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND AGED CARE: Australia has a proud reputation for investing in evidence based research to support better health outcomes for our community. The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF). recently announced $25 million in grants, including here at the University of Melbourne, to look at how we can support women throughout their pregnancy who might be identified at risk of stillbirth.

A simple blood test that could save the lives of hundreds of babies each year is the focus of a new study, awarded nearly $2 million by the Albanese Government.

Funded through the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), the TIM TAMs study led by Professor Stephen Tong from the University of Melbourne, aims to validate the first placental health test across Australia.

The research team believes that a simple blood test could help health professionals better work out which pregnancies are at risk of stillbirth.

Thanks very much for having me. It has been a little over a year since I last spoke to you. And it is always a pleasure to catch up with Sydney’s business community.

I am a big fan of Sydney. You drive a hard bargain. WA contributes millions in GST and you finally give us the North Sydney Bears. In fact, their home ground will be at HBF Park, in the heart of my electorate.

TRUDY MCINTOSH, HOST: And also returning to another one of our top stories, the Prime Minister is still confident he will meet Donald Trump while in New York. Joining me now for our political panel, Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister, Patrick Gorman and former Liberal MP, Jason Falinski. I must say, gentlemen, it's a real honour to host this panel. I know you two normally give Tom Connell a hard time, I enjoy watching that from the sidelines. I'm sure you'll be better behaved for me though. Pat Gorman -
