Special Event Announcement | Breakfast with the Prime Minister

No prime minister in recent history has visited Western Australia as often as Anthony Albanese as his government prepares the golden state to be at the centre of the AUKUS defence pact and a key player in Australia’s rise to renewable energy superpower.

He has also rolled out a $3 billion program to upgrade WA's electricity grids, committed to the GST floor that ensures WA gets a reasonable share of the national tax take and has found a middle ground on the stage three tax cuts that are due to come into effect from July. All that while easing the cost of living.

As his government prepares to hand down its latest budget, hear the Prime Minister as he outlines his government's committments to Western Australia for the coming year.

NSW Premier not told of leak of secret addresses from QR code dataset.

NSW Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello never alerted the Premier of the accidental leak of hundreds of secret addresses contained in a QR check-in database.
It was revealed last month the addresses, including locations of domestic violence shelters and critical infrastructure sites, had been uploaded to a public government website.

Mr Dominello told a budget estimates hearing on Monday he was first told of the incident on September 30, 2021 and that he received updates twice in the following month.

He said he didn‘t tell Premier Dominic Perrottet because the Customer Services department had already resolved the matter by alerting the Privacy Commissioner.

“We should be realistic about that threat, businesses should take extra protections,” Mr Dutton told ABC’s Radio National.
He advised people to visit the Australian Signals Directorate website and the Australian Cyber Security Centre website to get the latest information.
