But it’s not just a place of history - it is a site of living heritage, of ongoing, unbroken cultural practice. Now it will be shared with the world. Congratulations to @murujuga62857 and @MurrayWatt.

These carvings reveal over 50,000 years of knowledge and heritage of the Ngarda-Ngarli people engraved into the hard volcanic rock. Every part of the landscape has a deep and important history.

Murujuga is home to one of the most spectacular collections of rock art on earth. As Environment Minister I was proud to support this nomination led by Traditional Owners to give this amazing place the recognition and protection it deserves.

I’m so pleased to see the Murujuga Cultural Landscape inscribed on the World Heritage list overnight. This has been a long held aspiration of Elders and the community, it’s great to see this recognition.

Today is National Police Legacy Day. Police Legacy organisations around Australia support police and their families, often after a police officer has passed away.

Some great news today from the World Economic Forum. Because we take gender equality seriously.

Apparently a man told the NSW Liberal Women’s Council “the women in this party are so assertive now that we may need some special rules for men to get them pre-selected.”. Need I say more?.

My dear friend Tom Uren would’ve been 104 today. He was kind and wise, yet tough in his pursuit of fairness, justice, and peace.

Today is National Sorry Day - a time to reflect on the enduring pain experienced by the Stolen Generations. Sorry also means committing to stand against racism and ensuring this harm doesn’t happen again.

Aid and humanitarian work in Gaza must resume immediately. Lives depend on it.

Australia is part of the international call on Israel to allow the full and immediate resumption of aid into Gaza. Israel must enable UN and humanitarian organisations to do their life saving work. We urge all parties to return to a ceasefire and hostage deal.

If you or someone you know is experiencing, or at risk of, domestic, family and sexual violence call the police on triple zero or call 1800RESPECT.

A woman in Redfern who was assaulted on the weekend has sadly died, allegedly at the hands of someone she knew. This is devastating for her friends, family, and our whole community. We need to allow some time for those who loved her to grieve and the police to do their job.

Today, you’ve got a choice. Labor will deliver tax cuts, energy bill relief, cheaper medicines, free TAFE, cut your uni debt, build more homes and more - or Peter Dutton who has opposed these things at every turn. For a better, fairer Australia, vote Labor.

Something you may have missed from Peter Dutton’s election costings yesterday is his attack on the environment. A Dutton Government would cut $250 million of funding to protect more Aussie bushland and the funding to set up Australia’s first federal EPA. Is anyone surprised?.

The Newtown Synagogue has been part of our community for more than 100 years. Our strength is our diversity, and this is why a re-elected Labor government will support them host religious festivals with a $27,000 grant.

Sickness and injury aren’t just 9 to 5. And now, with 1800Medicare, neither is health care.
