The submission urges the Committee to give urgent attention to improving local capacity in Northern Australia to help prepare for future shocks to food production systems and improve access to food in remote Australia, especially for First Nations people.

One of the most common types of assessment at university is presentations. Presentations at university prepare you for life after graduation when your professional communication skills will be invaluable.
A successful presentation is designed to meet the needs of the audience. Think about this. While attending your presentation, the audience needs to:
listen to your voice; i.e., your pronunciation, language choices and style of delivery
understand the information conveyed by your voice
read the text and the visuals on your slides
understand the information conveyed by the text and visuals
watch your face and gestures
understand the messages conveyed by your face and gestures.
The audience must do all these things simultaneously. This is a heavy cognitive load, so your job is to make it as easy as possible for them. These materials will help you prepare, design and deliver an informative and audience-friendly presentation.
The Joint Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs (JSCATSIA) is conducting an inquiry into improving economic self-determination and opportunities for First Nations Australians.
The inquiry examines opportunities and barriers to training, employment, and business development for First Nations Australians, along with the challenges in building the economic and social infrastructure needed to support long-term prosperity. It will explore ways to unlock capital, leverage intellectual property, and utilise the Indigenous Estate and First Nations skills to position First Nations people as key economic partners. Additionally, the inquiry will consider international and intergenerational experiences in fostering economic independence for First Nations communities, as well as other related matters.

The Australian Government’s Migration Strategy introduced a new vision for the nation’s migration system, featuring a policy roadmap with eight key actions and over 25 new policy commitments and areas for future reform. A key aspect of this strategy includes a commitment to evaluate regional migration settings and the Working Holiday Maker program to ensure that migration supports regional development objectives and does not contribute to the exploitation of migrant workers.
The discussion paper sought input from stakeholders—including communities, businesses, unions, local governments, state and territory governments, education providers, and others—on how to enhance regional migration settings to foster strong and sustainable regions. It proposed objectives for regional migration, opportunities for improvement, and outlined specific questions on which the Government sought feedback to ensure regional migration complements existing government initiatives.
