Joint Council paid respects to Larrakia Elders, acknowledging their continuing custodianship of lands from the Cox Peninsula in the west, to Gunn Point in the north, Adelaide River in the east and down to the Manton Dam area southwards.
Thank you Kerry Anne for the wonderful Welcome to Country.
I acknowledge Traditional Owners and Custodians of all of the country and waters across our great land –
And particularly acknowledge the Whadjuk Noongar people.
I extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people here today from all points of the southern sky.

PATRICK GORMAN, ASSISTANT MINISTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER: I'm Patrick Gorman, the Federal Member for Perth and the Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister. Today marks one year since the full Albanese Government Ministry was sworn in. And since that time, I'm so proud of what we've achieved. We've established the Integrity Commission. We've put through our Budget, which has cheaper childcare for 1.2 million Australian families.
GREG JENNETT, HOST: Linda Burney, great to have some time with you. The Voice seems virtually unstoppable from here, having passed the House. You did your bit as a member there and you did find yourself unusually, I suppose sitting alongside many Liberals, the vast majority of them. Is there a sense now in which the easy part is done? The hardest struggle lies ahead from today?
