“Yesterday marked one year since the Albanese government's landmark $3.9 billion National Access to Justice Partnership 2025-30, the NAJP, commenced. It represented our government's largest investment in legal assistance.”
“I acknowledge and thank these local providers and the private sector practitioners supporting them for their professionalism, their expertise and their unwavering commitment.”
“The bill also modernises and clarifies the Defence health system framework by establishing a dedicated legislative basis for Defence health services, including clinical governance, health monitoring, quality assurance and improvement activities, enabling lawful, proportionate use of health data to improve health care, suicide prevention a…”
“Critically, the bill supports a more integrated approach across Defence, the Department of Veterans' Affairs and other portfolio agencies, including the new Veteran and Family Wellbeing Agency that was launched this morning, and the Defence and Veterans' Service Commission that began last year.”
“Purposefully, we need members of this place and senators to take their responsibility to lower anxiety and to provide proper information.

“We'd like to see everyone have an opportunity at getting a good job. It's a critical measure for reducing economic barriers and for addressing intergenerational disadvantage around the country but particularly, when I think about intergenerational disadvantage, in the Territory. Over 800 students from priority cohorts, such as those on low incomes, First Nations students and women who want to have a go non-traditional industries, have already enrolled under fee-free TAFE because it helps by taking away that financial barrier. Ongoing free TAFE will offer greater certainty to students, to employers and to industry, as well as to the state and territory governments.”
“Not only is this helping to relieve cost-of-living pressures for those seeking to skill up or re-skill but it's also absolutely vital to building the Territory's future and to building our nation's future. The Albanese government is committed to investing in the skills that Australia needs to drive the economic growth that we need. Labor will leave no-one behind and hold no-one back as our economy transitions into the future. Our fee-free TAFE offerings span those high-priority areas, including health, construction, early childhood education, hospitality and tourism, and renewable energy. With unemployment so low, having young Aussies skilled up in these areas is absolutely critical. We need more people on the tools and less people sitting around at home with nothing to do. We've still got four per cent unemployment.”
“The Albanese Labor government is investing in young Aussies to give them the skills that they need, because we know that a strong vocational education and training sector is absolutely critical to ensuring that young Australians, certainly from the beautiful place that I represent in the Northern Territory—that young Territorians—get a secure, well paid job that fills the need in industry and throughout our society. What do we do? The Albanese Labor government is investing in the skills the Territory needs and that Australia needs by making fee-free TAFE permanent for young Territorians, for young Australians around the country and for those that just want to retrain, try something different or start another career.”
“I spoke to his commanding officer, Von, who said he was a great junior commander. We asked Von to pass on our condolences to his mum, Sam, and to his dad, Tim, in Moonta Bay, South Australia. Matt's legacy was certainly felt at the battalion's re-linking parade in Darwin in December last year. Thank you to all those who serve. To Austin and Matt: thank you for your service. Rest in peace.”
“Today I want to commemorate two Australians who served our country. The first a great Territorian and Australian, the Hon. Austin Asche AC AK. I attended Austin's state funeral yesterday in Darwin to commemorate his life. I'm thankful to the Australian War Memorial, where a wreath was laid for him on Sunday night's last post ceremony. Austin served in the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II. He was the Chief Justice of the Northern Territory, the chancellor of Charles Darwin University and the 15th Administrator of the Northern Territory. Secondly, I want to commemorate Corporal Matt Hosking, who sadly lost his life in a car accident at the end of last year. Matt was an infantry soldier with the 7th Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment and passed away just prior to the relinking of 5 RAR and 7 RAR.”
