National Cabinet meeting

National Cabinet will next meet in Brisbane on 16 August 2023.

The key priority for the meeting is to discuss progress on housing and planning reforms, including proposals to increase housing supply and affordability.

Consistent with National Cabinet’s 2023 priorities, First Ministers will also discuss health reform ahead of a dedicated health meeting planned for later in 2023.

Showcase WA

I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and I pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging.

I am proud to lead a Government that will give every Australian the opportunity to vote for constitutional recognition through a Voice, in a referendum later this year.

To all our distinguished Western Australian guests, welcome to Parliament House.

Before the last election, I made a commitment to visit Western Australia 10 times in my first year in office.

A gift to our country

Can I acknowledge the people of the Yolngu nation.

I recognise all their elders, leaders and families who have given so much to Australia.

In particular, I acknowledge the Gumatj clan whose lands we are meeting on today.

I also acknowledge my parliamentary colleagues from across the spectrum.

I acknowledge union and business leaders, faith and sporting leaders and all of my fellow Australians here today, Indigenous and non-Indigenous coming together.
