The Commonwealth and Northern Territory Governments will establish two new Medicare Urgent Care Clinics (UCCs) in Palmerston and Alice Springs.

The Northern Territory Government is in advanced stages of negotiations with the Palmerston GP Super Clinic to deliver the Urgent Care Clinic in Darwin and with Central Australian Aboriginal Congress (CAAC) to deliver the Urgent Care Clinic in Alice Springs.

These UCCs will provide bulk billed treatment for urgent but non-life-threatening emergencies. They will be open extended hours, seven days a week.

LUKE GOSLING, MEMBER FOR SOLOMON: G'day, everyone. And welcome to Royal Darwin Hospital and the Alan Walker Cancer Centre here in beautiful Darwin. My name is Luke Gosling. I'm the Federal Member of Parliament that represents this beautiful place, this beautiful Larrakia country. It is with immense pride that we have with us today the Prime Minister. The second time since January he has visited the Top End, for the fourth time since his Government came into being last year.

On behalf of the people of Australia, the Australian Government will make a national contribution of $10,000 to Western Australian charity Friends of the Western Ground Parrot in honour of The King’s Coronation.

This contribution will go towards the conservation of the Western Ground Parrot, a rare and critically endangered bird found in the remote Cape Arid National Park and Nuytsland Nature Reserve, to the east of Esperance.

The Western Ground Parrot is shy and rarely seen, as they spend most of their time on the ground in low dense heathland.

PIERS MORGAN, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome to Britain.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you and great to be in London.

MORGAN: I have a strict rule. I have to confess, normally I don't fraternise with any Australians in the run up to an Ashes series. But I have made an exception for you.

PRIME MINISTER: Well, it's going to be a cracker of a series. And hopefully, we'll go well.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA: Can I thank Secretary Wallace, who's joined me for this tour of these excellent facilities right here in Barrow. And indeed, it's been an enormous privilege. And I want to thank BAE as well for showing us around these facilities and to thank the workers who've given us a warm welcome and spoken firsthand about the work that they are doing, which, of course, will have implications now due to the AUKUS arrangements for what Australia will be doing.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will travel to the United Kingdom from 2 - 6 May to represent Australia at the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort. 

The Prime Minister will join the Governor-General, State Governors and a number of other Australian representatives, including Ms Sam Kerr OAM who will be the Australian flagbearer at the Coronation.  

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: National Cabinet have had a very successful meeting here in Brisbane today, and I want to begin by thanking Annastacia for hosting us here in the great state of Queensland. Today, we have determined a range of reforms around the theme for a better future for the Federation.

The Australian Government will commit an additional $65 million towards the planned UTAS Stadium redevelopment in Launceston.

This matches the commitment already made by the Tasmanian Government, and will accelerate the transformation into a hub of economic activity for Tasmania’s north.

The funding injection means stages 1 and 2 are now able to be completed and the project can be enhanced to meet the regions needs for the longer term.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon, thanks for joining me. It's great to be here in Launceston, to announce that the Federal Labor Government in the Budget on May 9 will have $65 million to match the Tasmanian Government's contribution to upgrade UTAS here. This is about providing world class facilities for sport, but also to attract other events here in Launceston. This ground, I was here, way back, as the Infrastructure Minister more than a decade ago to announce federal funding for the stadium, the grandstands that we see around here.

A once in a generation vision for Hobart’s last remaining waterfront and urban development site will be realised, under a partnership between the Australian and Tasmanian Governments.

A Federal Government investment of $240 million under the 2023-24 Budget, will help unlock the potential of the Macquarie Point precinct, cementing the site as the next step in building a more vibrant Hobart.
