1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: Already and this is this da this is the Daily OS. Oh, 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: now it makes. 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 2: Sense, Good morning and welcomes the Daily OS. It's Tuesday, 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 2: the nineteenth of March. 5 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 3: I'm Sam, I'm Billy. 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 2: Over the weekend, First Nations People in South Australia determines 7 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: the composition of Australia's first ever Indigenous Voice to Parliament 8 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: advisory body. Indigenous voters in South Australia have cast their 9 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: ballots for the state's Voice to Parliament from. 10 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: Ten am to three pm on Saturday. We saw a 11 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: steady stream of First Nations voters to have their say 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: and to vote for candidates they wanted to see represent 13 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: them when it comes to advising the SA government. 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: The Voice will be a group of First Nations representatives 15 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: advising the South Australian Government on matters of importance to 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: their communities. This is a big moment for the country. 17 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: So we're going to unpack how the South Australian Voice, 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: how it came to be, and what influence it might have. 19 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 2: But first Billy, what is making headlines today? 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: It is now official Parliament has voted in favor of 21 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: increasing paid parental leave to twenty six weeks. Over the 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: next three years. It means the entitlement will increase from 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty two weeks of paid leave from the 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: first of July this year, before increasing again in twenty 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: twenty five and twenty twenty six. Minister for Family and 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: Social Services Amanda Rishworth said the change is expected to 27 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: initially benefit around one hundred and eighty thousand families. The 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: increased leaf policy is intended to encourage both parents to 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: take leave and for partners to give more support to 30 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: the birthing parent. 31 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: Posting a letter is about to get more expensive after 32 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: the National Consumer Watchdog approved an Odds Post proposal to 33 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: increase mail prices by twenty five percent from the third 34 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: of April. Posting a small letter will cost you a 35 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: dollar fifty that's up from a dollar while large letters 36 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: will cost nearly one dollar more to post. They're now 37 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: going to be four dollars fifty. Concession card holders such 38 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 2: as welfare recipients and pensioners, will still be able to 39 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: access half priced stamps, meaning they shouldn't be impacted by 40 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: the price hike. 41 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: Apple will be forced to answer questions about the safety 42 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: of its air tag devices in a US court after 43 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: the tech giants' attempts to overturn a case failed. A 44 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: group of thirty eight people have launched legal action against Apple, 45 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: claiming they were stalked by offenders who used air tags 46 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: to track their location and movements. Apple claims the air 47 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: tag's design does not breach any safety or legal regulations. 48 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: And today's good news, Researchers in the US have discovered 49 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: a way to recycle discarded wood into ink for three 50 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: D printing. The team at Rice University in Texas have 51 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: been developing ways to use three D printing to create 52 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: sustainable furniture and reduce waste. They were able to reprocess 53 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: thrown out wood to create a miniature table and chair. 54 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: Researchers will now undertake further experimental investigations before plans to 55 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 2: scale up the process. 56 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: Okay, sam So, Australia has its first ever Indigenous Voice 57 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: to Parliament at a state level in South Australia. But 58 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: some people might be confused because we had a national 59 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: vote for a federal voice to Parliament last year. So 60 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: can we start by you explaining how we got from 61 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: there to this. 62 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: That was one of the biggest news moments of twenty 63 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: twenty three. We had a national referendum to enshrine a 64 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: voice in the Australian Constitution and that failed, and that 65 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: means there'll be no voice at a national level, at 66 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: least not one that's constitutionally enshrined. But that has no 67 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: impact on what state and territory governments can do individually. 68 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: So now we're in a situation where South Australia has 69 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: become the first state to have a voice to Parliament 70 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: at a state level, and the. 71 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: General sentiment of what this body will be will be 72 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: quite similar, right that it will be his advisory body 73 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: to speak to the government about issues that impact First 74 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: Nations people in South Australia exactly. 75 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: It has a lot of the same DNA and I 76 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: think that's really important to remember here. 77 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: Now before you explain what this will look like in practice, 78 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: can you just take us back a bit. How did 79 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: South Australia get to this point. 80 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: Well, they actually passed legislation establishing the voice last year 81 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: in March, so before the nation voted against a federal voice. 82 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: But if you go back one step further, you can 83 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: go back to twenty twenty two when current Premier Peter 84 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: Malinowskis won the state election and when he won, he 85 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: committed to establishing a First Nation's Voice in the context 86 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: of it being part of the Ularu's Statement from the Heart, 87 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 2: a key pillar of that document. 88 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: And can you just to remind us what is the 89 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: Ulary Statement from the Heart. 90 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, so if you go back even further than that, 91 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: you can go back to twenty seventeen, and that's when 92 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: the ULARUS Statement from the Heart was endorsed and delivered 93 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: by First Nations leaders and it basically outlined this path 94 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: forward for recognizing First Nations people in the constitution. So 95 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: it was designed for reform at a federal level, at 96 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 2: a national level, but it also could apply at a 97 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: state level. Now, when we had the national referendum in October, 98 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: South Australia was actually the only state where every federal 99 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: electorate voted no. Now this vote didn't actually have an 100 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: impact on South Australia's plans, but in terms of public 101 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: support it obviously took a hit. It actually prompted a 102 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: One Nation state politician to table a bill in South 103 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: Australian Parliament that would repeal the creation of a South 104 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: Australian Voice. Now that vote didn't pass, and the formation 105 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: of this state voice pushed ahead. And all of that 106 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 2: brings us to last weekend where First Nations South Australians 107 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: voted to pick members of this inaugural voice body. 108 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: So, just to recap, the South Australian government introduced this 109 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: law to have a voice to Parliament at a state level. 110 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: When it came to the NASH vote, South Australians quite 111 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: convincingly said no to a voice of Parliament at a 112 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: federal level, but that didn't impact the fact that there 113 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: was already this law to have a voice at a 114 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: state level exactly. 115 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: And I'd almost imagine them as two parallel tracks, and 116 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: one didn't really affect the other directly. Nonetheless, though we're 117 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: here where we have a state body in South Australia 118 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: that's now becoming formed. 119 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: Got it. And so now that we have this state body, 120 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: how will it actually work? 121 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: So why don't I explain what the actual body will 122 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: look like first and then we can go into how 123 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: it'll operate. So the Voice to Parliament will be a 124 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: two tiered system, and in that it'll have forty six 125 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: local voices that's their official title. And within those forty 126 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: six local voices, there'll be twelve who are also state voices, 127 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 2: and so local voices are going to be tasked with 128 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: speaking to members of First Nations community about matters that 129 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: are relevant to them and to share those viewpoints with 130 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 2: the State voices. Date voices then convey those messages, whether 131 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: they be concerns or endorsements of their local communities, directly 132 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 2: to Parliament and the Government, and it will consult and 133 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: advise on matters significant to First Nations people in the state. 134 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: And so we're talking about it today because over the weekend, 135 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: First Nations people in South Australia voted for who they 136 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: wanted to represent them in the local and State voice. 137 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 2: Not quite, it's a little confusing, but basically, over the weekend, 138 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: enrolled First Nations voters from South Australia will pick who 139 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: they want as their local voices. Those local voices will 140 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: then go and pick twelve people within that group to 141 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: be State voices. And so within the Local Voices level 142 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: there's representatives from six different regions across the state. Five 143 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: of those regions get seven members each and then the 144 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: highly populated Central Region and that includes Adelaide will have 145 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: eleven members. And like I said, those local voices in 146 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: each region will then pick two members amongst them to 147 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: represent them as state var voices. So that's what First 148 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: Nations people voted for over the weekend, But the counting 149 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: of those votes isn't going to start for a couple 150 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: of weeks. It will start on the twenty fifth of March, 151 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: and that's to allow for the return of postal votes 152 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: from rural and remote areas. 153 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: Okay, so the voting started over the weekend, but the 154 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: actual counting of that vote won't start yet. But take 155 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: us through how will this body interact with the government 156 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: once it is formed. 157 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: So you've got this body made up of local voices 158 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: and state voices, and that body will be notified of 159 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: legislation that's introduced to the South Australian Parliament and it 160 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: can present reports to Parliament on matters concerning First Nations communities. Now, 161 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: the Parliament itself can actually proactively ask the Voice body 162 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: to report on the implications of legislation. They can also 163 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: ask them to kind of shape debate that happens within 164 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: Parliament and report back on voting decisions. And the Voice 165 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: itself has to report to the Parliament as well. They 166 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: have to provide a written report and an address to 167 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: parliam detailing their work over a twelve month period. And 168 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: there are in built ways for the Cabinet, which is 169 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: the senior members of the South Australian government, to meet 170 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 2: with the State Voice body and that will happen at 171 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: about twice a year, and this will allow the Voice 172 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 2: to ask questions of Cabinet and to be notified about 173 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: upcoming announcements and plans. Really give it some synergy these 174 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: two massive structures. But that's not all. The State Voice 175 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 2: is also going to meet with leaders of each public 176 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: department within the state. So it's a pretty comprehensive workload 177 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: and it'll be interesting to see. I mean, this hasn't 178 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: been tried before. It'll be interesting to see how it 179 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: pans out over this first twelve months. 180 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: It's interesting hearing all of the detail because obviously when 181 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: the nation went through this process last year, the big 182 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: conversation at the time was about the lack of detail. 183 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: And so to hear you list out all of the 184 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: different things about how this will actually work, it's really 185 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: interesting to see how it could actually work in process. 186 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: It would have been interesting to have the National referendum 187 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: again had this body been introduced twelve months before. 188 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, once we actually see how it works and if 189 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: it does benefit the state. 190 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. 191 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: Another big talking point from the National Voice referendum was 192 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: the difference between a constitutionally enshrined voice, which wouldn't be 193 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: able to be changed unless there was another referendum, and 194 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: a body designed by legislation, which can be taken away 195 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: if a new government comes in and doesn't like it. 196 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: So between those two things, where does this body fall? 197 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: I feel like I always get caught with the legal 198 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: questions on this podcast. So this one came about through legislation, 199 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 2: and you're right. It is different to the body that 200 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 2: was proposed in the Federal Voice model and that would 201 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 2: have been enshrined in the constitution if the referendum succeeded. 202 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: This one is designed in legislation. And that's also why 203 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 2: there wasn't a statewide vote. You know, South Australians wouldn't 204 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 2: vote on road rules or a new trade policy that 205 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: the state has, or new ways of the hospital can run. 206 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: It's the same thing here. Now. The difficulty, of course 207 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: with it being done through legislation is that it can 208 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 2: be repealed if a new government comes in then they 209 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: don't like the voice and they think it should be 210 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: taken away. So just like a government can pass a 211 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: law to introduce the Voice, another government under this system 212 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: can come in and actually pass the law to cancel 213 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: the Voice. 214 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: So obviously this policy was introduced by the current government, 215 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: so they are therefore unlikely to repeal it. 216 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was an election promise exactly. 217 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: But what do we know about the opposition? Do they 218 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: support this voice? 219 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: Well, the South Australian Liberal Opposition did not support the 220 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 2: establishment of the State Voice last year. They voiced their 221 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: concerns around a rushed process and flaws in the design 222 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 2: of the advisory body. Now, we reached out to the 223 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: opposition leader. His name is David Spears, not the journalist, 224 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: not the journalists, and he told TDA that he believes 225 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: many South Australians are confused about the Voice after the 226 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: State had what he said was such a strong rejection 227 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 2: of the national proposal. Now, in terms of whether they 228 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 2: would repeal the body if they got into government, Spears 229 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 2: told TDAS that they would keep a close eye on 230 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: the state based Voice and if it's not working, we'll 231 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: be more than willing to amend its operation or even 232 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: abolish it entirely. So they have kept that option open. 233 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 2: He did talk about what the opposition would do to 234 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: help South Australian First Nations people, and he said that 235 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 2: the Liberal Party is focused on what he described as 236 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: practical actions to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Tyrestrait Islander 237 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: people and that they'd like to see an order of 238 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: the funding for programs intended to close the gap because 239 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 2: the current approach is not on track as we know 240 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 2: to meet its targets. 241 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: That's all we have time for today.
