00:00Today is the launch of Remote Voter Services, as it is obviously for pre-form voting for the 2025 federal election.
00:07So nationally we've got about 70 Remote Voter Services teams going out to about 420 remote locations right across the country, just like this one behind me.
00:18It's fantastic to turn up here this morning, see a strong turnout, see people queueing head inside the polling place.
00:25And also to have such a really positive vibe in and around the polling place was absolutely heartwarming.
00:32Indigenous enrolment rates are the highest they've ever been in terms of actual number of Indigenous people on the electoral roll.
00:38We've worked incredibly hard over the last number of years, both before the referendum and since the referendum, to lift the Indigenous enrolment rates.
