The Hon Tony Burke MP

Thank you very much, Laura. Thank you to the Press Club. I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land that we’re on and their Elders past and present.

The latest Hollywood film attracted down under through the Australian Government’s Location Incentive will create more than 400 jobs for local cast and crew.

A new chapter in Australia’s cultural story has begun.

The Albanese Government has announced the appointment of Ms Stephanie Bull as Director of the Museum of Australian Democracy (MoAD) at Old Parliament House for a five-year term, beginning on 22 February.

Australia has lost an incredible voice and talent today with the passing of Renée Geyer, at the age of 69.

Renée was a legend, a pioneer, and as authentic as they come.

Thanks so much. It’s a real pleasure to be able to be addressing you here this morning and to be joining you on Jinibara land. I want to acknowledge Elders past and present and a reminder of what always was and always will be.
