Transcript – Morning Doors, House of Representatives

JOSH MARTIN:
Angie, National Cabinet is meeting today, what are you hoping comes from the meeting?
ANGIE BELL:
Well, we know that the Prime Minister has no plan, there’s no urgency and he’s not showing any leadership on this issue of fuel insecurity in our country. What he needs to do is move the fuel where it’s needed and slash that fuel excise, so that Australians can afford to fill up their cars, and that they can actually access fuel.

Transcript – 2CC Breakfast with Stephen Cenatiempo

STEPHEN CENATIEMPO:
The Shadow Minister for the Arts, Shadow Minister for Sport and Shadow Minister for Youth, Angie Bell joins us. Angie, good morning.

ANGIE BELL:
Good morning, Stephen. Great to be with you.

STEPHEN CENATIEMPO:
A lot to talk about this week. The first sitting week and first set of question time performances under the new leadership structure of Angus Taylor and Jane Hume. How do you think it’s gone so far?

Transcript – ABC Radio Brisbane with Steve Austin

STEVE AUSTIN:

Let’s go to federal politics and look at both sport and art with my guest, Queensland Federal Liberal MP, Angie Bell, the MP, the Member for Moncrieff, based on the Gold Coast. Angie Bell was reshuffled, if you like, with Angus Taylor winning the leadership. And Angie Bell now has the role for the opposition federally. Normally called an outer ministry role, so I regard that as somewhat of a demotion, covering youth, sport and art. Angie Bell, do you see it as a demotion? Morning to you.

ANGIE BELL:

Good morning, Steve. Great to be with you. Look, I see it as a great opportunity to deliver Liberal values to young Australians, and that is through the arts and through the sport portfolios. Because it really is the great leveller when it comes to opportunities for young people, and we want young people to have those opportunities to be ambitious as artists and sports people. We want more Australians to be successful and we’re seeing great success on the world stage at the moment obviously at the Winter Olympics and our artists are doing great things abroad as well.

Transcript – 2CC Breakfast with Stephen Cenatiempo

STEPHEN CENATIEMPO: This week, we’ve been talking about Angus Taylor’s new shadow ministry. And it’s always interesting when they put these things together. Some people will be elevated, some people will be dumped from ministry, some people will keep their portfolios, others will be given new roles. Angie Bell, who was previously in the environment portfolio, is now the Shadow Minister for Arts, Shadow Minister for Sport and Shadow Minister for Youth and joins us now. Angie, good morning.

STATEMENT ON COALITION SHADOW MINISTRY

It has been an honour to serve in Sussan Ley’s Shadow Cabinet as the Shadow Minister for Environment and Shadow Minister for Youth.

I now look forward to my continued service in Angus Taylor’s Shadow Ministry as Shadow Minister for the Arts, Shadow Minister for Sport and Shadow Minister for Youth.

Before life in politics, I enjoyed an illustrious thirty-year career as a professional saxophonist that included performances across the globe. It’s an absolute privilege to serve in the Arts portfolio for which I am very passionate.

LABOR’S PRODUCTIVITY PROMISES COLLAPSE UNDER SCRUTINY

Australians were promised faster approvals, higher productivity and stronger economic growth under Labor’s new environmental laws. Instead, Senate Estimates has exposed a government with no evidence, no timelines and no delivery. When Labor pushed through its Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) reforms, the Prime Minister claimed environmental approvals would be cut from years to months, and from months to weeks. These claims were presented as a central pillar of Labor’s productivity agenda.

TRANSCRIPT – 2CC with Stephen Cenatiempo

STEPHEN CENATIEMPO:
To talk about these issues and others, we’re joined by the Shadow Minister for Environment and Shadow Minister for Youth, Angie Bell. Angie, good morning.
ANGIE BELL:
Great to be with you, Stephen.
STEPHEN CENATIEMPO:
Look, as I say, I mean, the legislation was always going to be problematic, but there should be no politics and condolence motions whatsoever.

WATT’S THE THREAT TO THE MURRAY RIVER

The Coalition has raised serious concerns about the Albanese Government’s decision to list the Lower Murray River ecosystem as critically endangered, warning it risks creating significant uncertainty for water users, local councils and investors across the southern Murray–Darling Basin.
While the Government claims existing land and water uses will be unaffected, Shadow Minister for the Environment and Youth, Angie Bell, said this does not reflect the reality.

TRANSCRIPT – Sky News Afternoon Agenda

JULIA BRADLEY:
Joining me live now is Shadow Environment Minister, Angie Bell. Angie, thank you so much for your time. We’re hearing Parliament’s returning next, well ahead of schedule, to debate that legislation in the wake of the Bondi attack. Does the opposition plan to put forward any amendments?
ANGIE BELL:
Well, look, the opposition hasn’t actually seen the legislation yet, Julia, and so once we get that this afternoon, we’ll have a very, very close look at that. Like many Australians, the Coalition’s very skeptical about what will be in this Bill from the Prime Minister, because as we know, hate speech laws and gun laws are two different areas of law. And so, we’re a little bit skeptical after, you know, the debacle of not calling a Royal Commission for so long and the Prime Minister’s backflip on that as well. Australians, rightly, have doubts about the leadership of our country right now.

TRANSCRIPT – FIVEAA BREAKFAST

WILL GOODINGS:
The Bureau website, and we’ve thus far found one person who thinks it’s good. That’s just a user interface review. The serious side of this is things like Port Pirie, where a destructive storm swept through and nobody saw it coming. The Bureau didn’t see it coming. The Mayor in Port Pirie has been scathing of the Bureau. The Premier too I thought was pretty forthright in his commentary about how disappointing it was that this wasn’t picked up. With all this money being expended at the Weather Bureau, should we be expecting better? The Federal Shadow Environment Minister, Angie Bell, joins us on FIVEAA Breakfast.
