PATRICIA KARVELAS, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome to the program.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Patricia. Good to be with you.

KARVELAS: The $925 million you've announced offers $5,000 in emergency assistance to women who are fleeing violence, but the full scheme does not start until the middle of next year. Why do women have to wait?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks very much for joining us. Today's National Cabinet was a constructive discussion with the Premiers and Chief Ministers, together with the Family and Domestic Violence Commissioner, Micaela Cronin, who reported to the National Cabinet meeting. Was then followed by a report from the Victorian Premier, Jacinta Allan, about the 2016 Royal Commission and that experience arising out of that. We heard from every state and territory jurisdiction about the work that they were doing in their respective states and territories.

The Albanese Labor Government is committed to ending family, domestic and sexual violence in a generation. This is a national crisis.

We want women to know if they need to leave they can afford to go.

We understand the insidious links between financial insecurity and stress and vulnerability to family and domestic violence. Too often, financial insecurity can be a barrier to escaping violence.

Ending men’s violence against women and tackling misogyny and the harm it creates requires concerted action from all levels of government and all parts of society and we are building on investments already made in this space.

To build on our prevention efforts, the Albanese Government will introduce a suite of online measures to address easy access to pornography for children and young people and tackle extreme online misogyny, which is fuelling harmful attitudes towards women.

National Cabinet met virtually today to discuss the national crisis of gender-based violence.

First Ministers are committed to stopping the homicides and achieving our shared goal of ending violence against women and children in a generation.

National Cabinet agreed to a number of priorities for all our governments, building on efforts under way under the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032, including:

STEVEN MILES, PREMIER OF QUEENSLAND: Good afternoon everyone and welcome to a really important announcement for Queensland and for Australia. I welcome Prime Minister, Minister Husic and Ambassador Kennedy. Good governments focus on the issues of the day and the concerns of the day, but also make sure that they are looking to the future and delivering the outcomes that will create the jobs of the future. And you know, it's a bit over 25 years since Queensland set out to be the smart state, and now today we continue to reap the rewards of those forward thinking decisions.

JOANNE ALFORD, PRINCIPAL OF THE CENTRALIAN SENIOR SCHOOL: I’d just like to welcome the Prime Minister to Centralian Senior College today, we're very proud for this visit. Quite often we get a negative narrative around who our students are, but today they've been able to shine and shine for the Prime Minister and celebrate the funding that we've received through the on country learning money. Those funds have actually been transformational for our outcomes for our young people. So we really wanted to express our gratitude - thank you so much.

The Albanese and Miles Governments are harnessing the power and potential of quantum technologies to help deliver a Future Made in Australia and make Brisbane a tech manufacturing powerhouse.

The Australian and Queensland Governments will invest almost $1 billion into frontier technology company PsiQuantum to build the world’s first fault tolerant quantum computer in Brisbane.

STEWART BRASH, HOST: Five weeks to the day after Alice Springs witnessed the riot outside the Todd Tavern and the violence at Hidden Valley Town Camp, and 15 months after his last visit to Alice at the height of the summer of chaos, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has returned to Alice Springs.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It's terrific to be here in Alice Springs and to be here having a look at such a, literally, concrete example of the difference that our investment is making. The $250 million Central Australia Package is looking at the full suite of services. This health hub here, run by the Aboriginal Congress, will make an enormous difference for the programs that they operate, particularly for the youngest Territorians here to be able to get the health services that this magnificent organisation provides.
