Introduction and the Voice

What a pleasure to be joining you all today. Thank you so much to Aunty Peta, for such a generous welcome to Country.

Thank you, Tim, for the kind introduction and for inviting me to speak at CommsDay; it is a great privilege to do so as Communications Mini

I acknowledge traditional owners of the land that we’re on and elders, past and present, and I’m very proud to be here as a member of the Albanese Government

I would like to begin by acknowledging the Turrbal and Jagera people – the traditional custodians of the lands we are meeting on today.

KRISTY MCBAIN, MINISTER: Thank you very much for having me.
