PRIME MINISTER: Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against what is an oppressive regime. Ayatollah Khamenei was responsible for the regime's ballistic missile and nuclear program, support for armed proxies and its brutal acts of violence and intimidation against its own people. This claimed countless lives in Iran, but also internationally. He is responsible for orchestrating attacks on Australian soil. His passing will not be mourned. We have not been immune from the impacts of the regime's actions right here in Australia.

Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression.

For decades, the Iranian regime has been a destabilising force, through its ballistic missile and nuclear programs, support for armed proxies, and brutal acts of violence and intimidation.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It's been fantastic to engage here with Alana at the Endo and Pelvic Pain Clinic here in Werribee. This is making an enormous difference to the lives of women. It's part of the biggest women's health program that Australia has ever seen by any government. Making a difference right across the board, whether it's a listing of new contraceptives, the women's reproductive health reform that's making a difference.

SAM WEIR, HOST: Thank you, Prime Minister. Firstly, apologies for the interruption and thank you for pressing on with your speech.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Not my first speech. So, the objective should always be to keep going.

WEIR: I am told that those two were motorcycle enthusiasts upset that the MotoGP has been taken by Adelaide. We've given them Marty Pakula's phone number and two free tickets to the F1 Grand Prix and they seemed happy.

I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and I pay my respects to elders past present and emerging.

Thank you to our hosts at the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and The Herald Sun for bringing this forum together once again.

I had the pleasure of spending nearly all last week here in Victoria.

I met with nurses at the Royal Children’s Hospital who had been supported by Paid Prac while they did their training placement.

HOST: The Prime Minister is on this morning. Good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Good to be with you.

HOST: You're calling up to talk about, I guess was it late last night you sent a letter just to your British counterpart, just sort of saying that you back any plan to remove the former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor?

HOST: Alright, jack up the anthem. Here we go. All rise. Oh, it's really loud. The Prime Minister joins us. Albo, good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. I hope you're standing up while the anthem's going.

HOST: Always.

HOST: Of course we are.

HOST: Shaun even took his hat off.

JODY ODDY, HOST: Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good morning to you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Wonderful to be with you.

ODDY: Did you do a voice to text to pen this letter or how does it work?

ANDREW HAYES, HOST: Is this a ChatGPT number, or?

MEL CLARKE, HOST: The Prime Minister joins me now. Anthony Albanese, thank you for speaking to AM this morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Good to be with you.

CLARKE: Now, do you want Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor removed from the line of succession?

Today marks four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in blatant violation of international law, including the United Nations Charter.

Four years of unprovoked Russian aggression against a sovereign, democratic neighbour.

Australia is steadfast in our commitment to a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

We commend the bravery and resilience of the Ukrainian people.

Australia has committed over $1.7 billion in total assistance, including $1.5 billion in military support to help Ukraine defend itself.
