On the drive back from Collie last week it struck me just why Peter Dutton's nuclear plan is so concerning for West Australians.

Heading home on the Kwinana Freeway after a day of talking to energy workers and community leaders in Collie I saw our city skyline. The names of Australia's largest resources companies illuminate Perth.

It struck me that if the CEO of any of those companies had done what Peter Dutton did, they would be sacked before the day is out.

A statistical dashboard launched today will help drive our shared ambition to end violence against women and children in Australia in one generation by providing more timely reporting on female victims of intimate partner homicide.

We know that to end violence we must be able to measure it. Accurate, verified, closer to real-time data is crucial to achieving this aim.

ADAM SHIRLEY, HOST: Assistant Minister, thanks for your time. Good to see you.

PATRICK GORMAN, ASSISTANT MINISTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER AND ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE: Good to see you, Adam. Hello to your listeners.

SHIRLEY: It is talk topic of today and last night, obviously $700,000 for Sam Mostyn in the role as the new Governor General; over, under, or about right?

TRUDY MCINTOSH, CO-HOST: That is the now Prime Minister's view on the old Governor-General's pay rise. We will bring in the Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister Patrick Gorman, Pat, what's wrong with what Anthony Albanese said, there's so much more than what the average worker would be getting a minimum wage increase?

GREG JENNETT, HOST: Well to cover off the government's first day of parliamentary debate on atomic energy, as well as some other news of the day, Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister Patrick Gorman joins us now. Patrick, welcome back to the programme. Why don't we kick off on nuclear. You were there in the parliamentary session we broadcast excerpts from.

JODIE HANNS, STATE MEMBER FOR COLLIE-PRESTON: I'll start by saying thank you very much to Patrick Gorman, who is representing Prime Minister Albanese here today. He's come down to Collie to look at the local perspective around the recent announcement of the Liberal Party. But today we've spent a lot of time meeting with members of the Just Transition Working Group who've been working incredibly hard since 2018 on Just Transition and providing a renewables focused future and a green energy future for Collie beyond the coal industry. So thank you, Patrick.

TOM CONNELL, HOST: The Coalition will go to the next election with a policy to have nuclear power up to seven reactors around the country. Joining me now is Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister Patrick Gorman, thank you for your time, is nuclear power safe?

It was with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Rev Dr Gondarra in the Northern Territory and offer our deepest sympathies to his family, community and loved ones.

A Yolŋu man and lawman of his Dhurili clan in north-east Arnhem Land, he was Australia's first ever Aboriginal Methodist minister.

A trailblazer for justice and better outcomes for his people, he was an incredible leader and advocate for the Yolŋu people, and for truth-telling and treaty.

He instilled an enormous sense of pride in Yolŋu people for their language, law and culture.

An enduring commitment to Western Australia

As I said last year, the Government’s dedication to regional Australia — and WA — is unfailing.

I know what you know: the West is the best.

Our commitment starts at the top.

The Prime Minister knows Western Australia well.

Before the last election, he said he would visit our state ten times each year.

And he has kept his word.

In the two years since the election, he has visited WA 21 times.

And he has brought the entire Federal Cabinet with him on three of those occasions.
