Rescheduling a speech, especially for senior government members like Tony Burke, is a common occurrence due to busy diaries and the need to coordinate with other government commitments. As Richard Marles confirmed, it's not unusual for dates to shift. It suggests a logistical change rather than a change in the policy itself, which is still expected soon.
