SARAH ABO, HOST: We’re only four months into the year and already 25 Australian women have allegedly been killed by a partner or former partner. These are some of their faces. The latest victim, 28 year old Molly Ticehurst, who was found dead at her home in the New South Wales Central West on Monday morning. She was a mother, a daughter, a child care worker, a friend and beloved member of her community. Molly did everything right. She saw the red flags and reported them to police. It should’ve been enough but it wasn’t.

MICHAEL ROWLAND, HOST: The death of Molly Ticehurst has sparked renewed concern, white-hot anger as well, regarding violence against women. For more on this, let’s bring in the federal Minister for Women, Katy Gallagher, in Canberra. Minister, very good morning to you.

SENATOR THE HON KATY GALLAGHER, MINISTER FOR WOMEN: Morning Michael, thanks for having me on.

I acknowledge the Larrakia people today and pay my respects to Elder's past, present and emerging. We acknowledge Nicole Brown, who gave the Welcome this morning.

Well, I think Local Governments are deadly!

And our country needs the three tiers of government and one of the most wonderful things about working for the people, irrespective of where you are, who you are and what beliefs you may have, the wonderful thing is democracy and our ability as a country to speak about matters in a way that we can debate in forums with respect and clarity and put our case.

TOM CONNELL, HOST: The big issue of the week has been what Australia will do in regards to Israel and Palestine. Namely, Penny Wong kicking off what she wanted was to be a debate over giving Palestine or recognising Palestinian statehood, ahead of the culmination of a two state solution. Joining me now Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister Patrick Gorman, and former Liberal MP Jason Falinski. Thanks both for your time. Patrick, I'll start with you. The debates already there, what's your view? Should Australia pledge just what Penny Wong has considered.

HOST, STEWART BRASH: Let's talk politics. Now, we've had a swag of pollies in our town this week. Federal Minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney has been here, as well as other Federal reps, including Labor Senator for the NT, Malarndirri McCarthy. Now, yesterday, the official opening of Central Australian Congress’s Alukura Midwifery Group Practice, the first of its kind in a remote area of Australia. And you'll hear more about that after 930am. But right now, Labor Senator for the NT, Malarndirri McCarthy, is in Tenant Creek. Good morning to you.
