The Albanese Labor Government has further progressed its commitment to addressing family violence experienced by First Nations women and children, with public consultation opening on the design of a standalone National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Safety Plan.

DAVE MARCHESE, HOST: Next month will mark a year since Australia's Voice to Parliament referendum. Now, people remember the referendum was defeated after a really intense and sometimes toxic debate. So, where are we now? Because since then, Australia's got a new Minister for Indigenous Australians. Linda Burney has finished up in the job and now NT Senator Malarndirri McCarthy has taken over. So, we wanted to have a check in and speak with the new Minister. She's with us now. Malarndirri McCarthy, thank you very much for joining us on Hack.

NANCE HAXTON, JOURNALIST: Senator, thank you so much for joining us on the National Indigenous Radio Service today.

McCARTHY: My pleasure Nance, thankyou for having me on.

I’m Kate Thwaites, Assistant Minister for Social Security, Ageing and Women.

I acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as traditional owners of the land I – and many of you – are on today, and pay my respects to elders past and present.

Hello everyone, it’s Malarndirri McCarthy here – coming to you from the lands of the Larrakia people.

I acknowledge you’re on the lands of the Kaurna people and pay my respects to Elders past and present.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the First Nations community-controlled organisations and other providers attending today’s forum.

Sorry I can't be with you in person.

Thank you for the important work you do in supporting job seekers in remote Australia on their path to employment.

For the first time in Australian history, sporting boardrooms across the country will have to meet gender equity targets or risk funding being withheld.  

More women will have more opportunities at boardroom tables following the launch of the National Gender Equity in Sport Governance Policy, which addresses the under representation of women in sports leadership.

The Albanese Government will commit $4.4 billion in new funding to address the scourge of gender-based violence and respond to the Rapid Review into Prevention Approaches, including through investing in frontline services and initiatives to prevent violence.
