I'd also like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and pay tribute to their Elders past and present. I extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who join us tonight. I acknowledge, all those who have, or continue to serve our nation in our uniform, and families who support them. These awards are about showcasing the talent of our veteran community and to recognise the organisations that are leading the way in veteran employment - and that is certainly what we've seen tonight.

MANILA, Philippines—The poverty threshold, which is set by the government, already 'grossly underestimates' poverty in the Philippines, but what's worse, a think tank stressed, is that the minimum wage Filipino workers receive is not even above the poverty line. According to Ibon Foundation, Filipino workers and their families 'are barely surviving on the minimum wage [set by the government] because this is even less than the official poverty threshold for a family of five.' According to data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the poverty threshold in 2021, which is the minimum income that a family of five needs to meet basic food and non-food requirements, was P12,030, or almost P80 a day for every family member.

Japanese Yen and U.S. dollar banknotes are seen in this illustration taken March 10, 2023. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic SINGAPORE  – The U.S. dollar barely moved in Asian trades on Monday, even as sterling blipped higher and the yen dipped, as a Japanese holiday and a bunch of upcoming central bank meetings sucked the air out of markets. The Bank of Japan's policy meeting on Friday is the highlight of the week in Asia, after Governor Kazuo Ueda stoked speculation of an imminent move away from ultra-loose policy.
