MEMBER FOR GILMORE, ANN SUDMALIS MP:
E&OE TRANSCRIPT Fran Kelly, Radio National, Breakfast, 16 March 2017 SUBJECTS: Snowy Hydro announcement, innovation fund to improve Australia’s Defence capabilities, new technologies fund, cyber security, ACTU secretary Sally McManus’ comments and gas export supplies.
JOURNALIST: How does the Growler stand up at the moment to any potential adversary? How would it go jamming a modern warship for instance? What are its vulnerabilities there – what needs to be done to quote-unquote future proof it? MINISTER: I think I am going to leave that to Chief of Air Force.
Let me begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet this morning and by thanking Uncle Brian and Aunty Violet very much for their very warm welcome to country.

SABRA LANE:
MINISTER:
BARNABY JOYCE: Well, thank you very much for being here. It's incredibly important that we've always prided ourselves on being a government that hears the concerns of the people.
CHARLIE MCKILLOP: You're listening to the Queensland Country Hour today where we are excited to be able to bring you the breaking news in Canberra of the Federal Government being about to change its policy – we're talking about the compulsory land acquisitions by the Defence Department.
MICHELLE LANDRY MP
CHRISTOPHER PYNE: Firstly, I would like to thank Professor Don Winter, who has been assisting government now over several years, assisting us particularly with our submarine build over a period of time, and other important parts of this naval shipbuilding capability that we’ve been trying to build in Australia.
MARISE PAYNE: Ladies and gentlemen, I want to start by reinforcing the importance of the Australia-Indonesia military relationship, and the relationship more broadly. It's one which spans many decades.
HELEN DALLEY: Well joining me live now to discuss our top story this morning is Defence Minister Marise Payne, and we're very pleased that she made time to join us. Marise Payne, thanks for joining us. MARISE PAYNE: Good morning Helen, how are you?
KIM LANDERS: Australia's Defence Minister is Marise Payne and she joins me on the line. Minister, good morning. MARISE PAYNE: Good morning, Kim. KIM LANDERS: Can you clarify exactly why these military ties have been suspended?
MINISTER:
JOURNALIST I am joined now by the Defence Minister, Marise Payne. Senator Payne, thanks for joining us. MINISTER Good morning Michael. JOURNALIST Some are already beginning to argue that the alliance should change as a result of the Trump victory. Is that likely? MINISTER
PATRICIA KARVELAS: The Trump campaign was certainly muscular on Foreign Policy and Defence. It remains to be seen how much the President-elect will follow through on this and what effect, of course, it has on Australia and our strategic interests. Marise Payne is the Minister for Defence and I spoke to her a very short time ago.
E&OE…………………… Subjects: Counter-Daesh Coalition, Mosul operation, Operation OKRA REPORTER Islamic State has now lost more than half of the territory it once held in Iraq and Defence Ministers from the US-led coalition are meeting in Paris for an update on the state of play.
JOURNALIST For more on the operation to retake Mosul from the Islamic State group, I am joined now by the Defence Minister, Marise Payne. Marise Payne, good morning. MINISTER Good morning, how are you?
