Labor’s changes to Paid Parental Leave – expanding the scheme to a full six months – will now be law after the Paid Parental Leave Amendment (More Support for Working Families) Bill 2023 was today passed by the Senate.

That means new parents will be eligible for more Paid Parental Leave from 1 July this year with the passage of this historic legislation.

More than 180,000 families are expected to benefit from the expansion of the scheme each year with expecting parents able to pre-claim from March 26.

In a time of continuing global economic uncertainty, it’s more important than ever for Australia to build our self-reliance and invest in our economic resilience.

That’s what our Government’s vision for a future made in Australia is all about: a stronger, more diversified economy with greater opportunity and security for all.

Realising this vision requires us to seize the unique opportunities and natural advantages that can see Australia lead the world.

DON FARRELL, MINISTER FOR TRADE & TOURISM: Well, welcome to everyone here today. What a magnificent day to be in Adelaide, in South Australia, but what a magnificent day to be at this fantastic historical vineyard of Penfolds. I'm here, of course, with representatives of Penfolds, but more importantly, the Prime Minister.

CLINT STANAWAY, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joins us now live from Adelaide on Weekend Today. Prime Minister, good morning. Good to see you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G’day, good to be with you.

STANAWAY: Your Government covered that 15 per cent increase back in 2022. Will you foot the bill for $20 billion over the next four years?

MONIQUE WRIGHT, HOST: Morning to you PM, good to see you. Looks like a beautiful day where you are. You're at the Magill Estate just outside of Adelaide to talk wine tariffs, which we're going to chat about in a moment. But first, on the immigration detainees issue.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning.

DAVID PENBERTHY, HOST: As an Adeladian in Sydney, and I think the journos, the eastern states journos, are the worst offenders, particularly in the backdraft of the State Bank having collapsed and with the car industry, so much of the narrative locally was we need to be saved, we need to be helped - you heard words like mendicant state, handout state - has the perception changed, do you think, over the other side of Australia?

RICCARDO SCHIRRU, POLITICAL EDITOR OF IL GLOBO: Buongiorno e benvenuto al Globo TV al Primo Ministro, Antonio Albanese.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Buongiorno.

SCHIRRU: Buongiorno. Mr Albanese, you have passed half of your mandate. How do you assess your experience and the experience of the Government?

I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, and I acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging.

It is a great pleasure to be with you. I’d like to thank The Advertiser for its Building a Bigger, Better South Australia campaign – and for facilitating today’s conversation.

Since the last time we were together, South Australia has been an important part of my schedule. In fact, this is my 15th visit to South Australia since my election as Prime Minister less than two years ago.

DAVID PENBERTHY, HOST: Well, Anthony Albanese is in Adelaide today where he's going to be the keynote speaker at the Advertiser's annual event, which is entitled 'Building a Bigger and Better South Australia'. Prime Minister, good morning and thank you so much for joining us.

It is a sad honour to join with you today to farewell our dear friend, Linda White.

We come together to pay respects and grieve for someone taken from us far too soon.

Yet what will long outlast our sadness is our pride in all that she was, and all that she did.

Her achievements. Her warmth. Her capacity. Her wisdom.

Linda was a beloved friend and a valued colleague.

Linda understood both the fragility of democracy, and the duty of every elected representative to strengthen democracy by working to restore the public’s faith in it.
