People have different views on this and just like any section of society, to think that it is homogenous is, I think, just not realistic. Now, I very firmly believe that the Uluru Statement from the Heart was very clear about the priority that Indigenous people, after hundreds of consultations, came together and they said they wanted Voice as the first thing.
n
Now, what people will vote for in the referendum, if they decide to support it, is they will vote for recognition of Indigenous Australians in our constitution and they will vote for consultation with Indigenous people on matters that affect them …
n
It is about reconciliation. It’s not a radical proposition. So I’m not surprised that some radicals are opposed to it. Because this is a mainstream proposition. This is a modest and gracious request – for reconciliation by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Now, if we don’t recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our constitution this year, when Australians will have the opportunity to do so, when will we? When will we?

We said we would allocate $100m around the country to make sure we focused on the way that the hospital system worked with the primary healthcare system and addressing workforce issues in order to address the challenges there with the healthcare system going forward.
n
I’m very pleased and I congratulate Jeremy and his government for being the first government in the country to deliver a program which is innovative here in Tasmania. This program will be Tasmania-wide and deliver some $8m to make a difference here, to make sure people who are working through the hospital system can get the training that will enable them to become GPs, particularly in rural communities.
n
This is about boosting primary care in taking pressure off the hospital system. In addition to that, Tasmania will contribute $5m over four years to improve capital works for the rural medical workforce centre right here and $1 million a year to support mandatory rural medical officer rotations.

I’m so pleased that Harrison school kids are writing to us about this because recycling plastics is a real priority for our government. I’m hoping to say something very soon about getting soft plastics recycling back into supermarkets because we know a lot of families really want to do that.
n
But hard plastics as well. We’re only recycling about 16% of plastic in Australia at the moment there is nowhere near good enough. And we’ve kids like this, recognising how important it is as an issue.
n
We’re going make sure as a government that we give families the opportunity to do what they want to do, which is recycle their plastic at home.

Our top story this morning concerns the voice to parliament and a dilemma for the Greens. The party’s Indigenous spokesperson, Lidia Thorpe, used rallies yesterday to push her position that she will vote no unless First Nations sovereignty is not ceded. That stance will be further complicated after it emerged that she initially backed an inquiry into Indigenous bodies that has been driven by anti-voice Coalition senators. The Guardian’s Paul Karp writes that she withdrew support after an intervention by party’s leader, Adam Bandt, but her support for a sovereignty settlement rather than voice has been criticised as conflating two separate matters.

Meanwhile, Adani Group has held meetings with bond investors overnight to reassure them in the wake of an analysts’ report that accused the Indian conglomerate of “brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud”. The company, whose assets include its controversial coalmine in Queensland, hit back at the report by Hindenburg, calling it bogus and saying it will give a detailed response on Friday.

People have different views on this and just like any section of society, to think that it is homogenous is, I think, just not realistic. Now, I very firmly believe that the Uluru Statement from the Heart was very clear about the priority that Indigenous people, after hundreds of consultations, came together and they said they wanted Voice as the first thing.
n
Now, what people will vote for in the referendum, if they decide to support it, is they will vote for recognition of Indigenous Australians in our constitution and they will vote for consultation with Indigenous people on matters that affect them …
n
It is about reconciliation. It’s not a radical proposition. So I’m not surprised that some radicals are opposed to it. Because this is a mainstream proposition. This is a modest and gracious request – for reconciliation by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Now, if we don’t recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our constitution this year, when Australians will have the opportunity to do so, when will we? When will we?

We said we would allocate $100m around the country to make sure we focused on the way that the hospital system worked with the primary healthcare system and addressing workforce issues in order to address the challenges there with the healthcare system going forward.
n
I’m very pleased and I congratulate Jeremy and his government for being the first government in the country to deliver a program which is innovative here in Tasmania. This program will be Tasmania-wide and deliver some $8m to make a difference here, to make sure people who are working through the hospital system can get the training that will enable them to become GPs, particularly in rural communities.
n
This is about boosting primary care in taking pressure off the hospital system. In addition to that, Tasmania will contribute $5m over four years to improve capital works for the rural medical workforce centre right here and $1 million a year to support mandatory rural medical officer rotations.

I’m so pleased that Harrison school kids are writing to us about this because recycling plastics is a real priority for our government. I’m hoping to say something very soon about getting soft plastics recycling back into supermarkets because we know a lot of families really want to do that.

But hard plastics as well. We’re only recycling about 16% of plastic in Australia at the moment there is nowhere near good enough. And we’ve kids like this, recognising how important it is as an issue.

We’re going make sure as a government that we give families the opportunity to do what they want to do, which is recycle their plastic at home.
