Simon Trott, Rio Tinto: I'd like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, this amazing country that we're on, the Ngarluma people and acknowledge also their elders past and present. Rio has been operating here in Dampier since the 1960s, and over that time we've exported around seven billion tons of iron ore. One of the things I love about my job is the opportunities that it creates, the opportunities for people though employment, the opportunities for business, the opportunities for the society here in the Pilbara, and also right across Australia.

Earlier today a United States Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey crashed on Melville Island, north of Darwin, while supporting Exercise Predators Run 2023.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the three US service personnel who lost their lives, those who have been injured, the rest of the crew and indeed the entire United States armed forces.

Australian Defence Force personnel in the Northern Territory are providing support to our US partners.

No Australian personnel were involved in the incident.

The Albanese Government’s plan to train, retrain or upskill Australians and tackle skills shortages is a raging success with all 180,000 Fee-Free places filled within six months.

New figures show Fee-Free TAFE enrolments have hit more than 214,300 in the first six months – six months earlier than anticipated and nearly 35,000 places more than expected.

The biggest winner is set to be the care sector, with courses across health care, aged care and disability care attracting more than 51,000 students or 23.8 per cent of total enrolments.

Pete, Host: Good morning to you, Mr Albanese. Welcome to the studio.

Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister: Good morning. Great to be here. Beautiful day here in Perth.

Pete: It's lovely.

Matt, Host: Isn't that right?

Prime Minister: It's always good weather.

Kymba, Host: We like to turn it on, don't tell too many people. We like that we're a little bit distant from everybody else. It stops, we don't just let everybody in.

Host: We do have the PM in the studio. It's great having Tracy here because you can see her nightly on Channel 9, PM, but she's also got a run down of your schedule. And she was reading it to us earlier on.

Host: Well, I've got the timings of your schedule today.

Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister: It's a busy day.

Host: They really jam pack it in, Prime Minister, for you and it's been busy for you ever since you took on the role really. Or being in politics in general.

TANYA PLIBERSEK, MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND WATER & MEMBER FOR SYDNEY: We're here on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, and the place we're standing on right now is called Bennelong Point. It's named for a man who was the communicator between the first British settlers and the Aboriginal people who lived on and around Sydney Harbour all those years ago. Bennelong played a special role here in Sydney and he later went to England and played that role in England as well, communicating between Aboriginal Australia and white Australia even then.

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

I am so proud to lead a Government committed to Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through a Voice.

And I am grateful to be in the presence of a union that has thrown its considerable weight behind the Yes vote. Behind this chance of a fairer, more united Australia.

It’s an honour to be here with you all tonight. I particularly want to acknowledge the leadership of Graeme Kelly.

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 committed to Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, through a Voice.

And I want to thank the Business Council of Australia for your longstanding support of this cause.

For making the very straightforward point that Australia needs to do better in Indigenous health and housing and employment and education.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Justice Stephen Gageler AC as the fourteenth Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia. Justice Gageler will commence as Chief Justice on 6 November 2023 upon the retirement of Chief Justice Susan Kiefel AC.

BRANDY, HOST: Anthony Albanese, welcome to Breakfast with Vossy and Brandy.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. It will indeed be a very, very big night. This is a sporting team that has captured the imagination of the entire country.
