Doorstop - Wurrumiyanga, Tiwi Island

MARION SCRYMGOUR, MEMBER FOR LINGIARI: It's great to be here, back home, at Wurrumiyanga. It's always fantastic for me to come back home to my mob on the Tiwi Islands. And it is with great pleasure to be here, both with the Prime Minister and also Minister for Indigenous Australian Malarndirri McCarthy. Also, the Member for Solomon, who has come over to see this great part of my electorate. But I'll now hand over to the Prime Minister.
