No travel restrictions on China arrivals yet, PM says

Before he wraps up, the PM is asked about travel restrictions on travellers from China, given that Italy, Japan, India and Taiwan have imposed restrictions.

We will continue to monitor the circumstances that are occurring in China and in other parts of the world as well, as we do. We will take the appropriate advice from the health experts and follow that advice. There is no change in the travel advice at this point in time but we are continuing to monitor the situation, as we continue to monitor the impact of Covid here in Australia as well as around the world. Our priority is to keep Australians as safe as possible.

What we will do is take health advice, not just when it comes to China, when it comes to every country, there are outbreaks in various parts of the world. We will follow the health advice. What is occurring in some parts of the world as well is that people have to get tested before they get on a plane as well.

I am very positive that Australians will take up the gracious and generous offer of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for reconciliation, to move forward together, and the Uluru statement from the heart is incredible document. In such a short space, people would be surprised that it can fit on one page, it can fit on a T-shirt and in that statement, it was a call for unity, it was a call for recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our constitution.

It was also a call for a voice, that we know that for a long time, for over 120 years now, since federation, we have had decisions made for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. What the voice does is just say that they should be consulted on matters that impact their lives, on their education, health, justice issues, housing – on all of these issues. You will get better outcomes when you have dialogue and when you have that genuine engagement.

There is an over 20- page document of detail that went to the cabinet of the Morrison government, not once but twice. There has been a process, a five-year process leading up to the Uluru statement in 2017 and then a five-year process since then.

There has been parliamentary committees, parliamentary reports, there has been this cabinet document worked through by Marcia Langton and Tom Karma of 200 pages which outlined Aboriginal representation between men and women and what it could look like. Its recommendation was a model of 20 people. That is all subservient to the parliament.
