Address to the Australian Banking Association, Sydney

Thanks very much, Tony, for that introduction. And good afternoon, everybody, thanks for the opportunity to spend a Friday afternoon of Budget week with you here.

Address to the National Press Club, Canberra

Delivered on 9 May 2023 on the second reading of the Appropriation Bill (No. 1) 2023–24.

Uncle Thomas Coghill – thank you for that characteristically kind welcome to country.

When I accepted this invitation some weeks ago I envisaged quite a specific speech, about some of the staging points of a busy 2023 – and I’ll still do some of that.

Vice Chancellor, it’s so generous of you to host us at your home here on Ngunnawal and Ngambri country at the University of Canberra.

Thanks very much to my friend Colin Tate for his kind invitation and for bringing us together today.

I acknowledge the Gadigal people as the traditional custodians of this land – and the importance of the Voice.

G’day to everyone in Sydney, and Kia Ora to our great friends from New Zealand.

I want to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation where you are gathering today – and their elders, culture and customs.
