BEN ENGLISH, EDITOR OF THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Well, congratulations. Well, it has to be acknowledged you did play an instrumental part in getting this over the line. So that was great and also thanks for the money. $72.5 million, it's nothing to sneeze at, is it? I must say, well, I'm taking it, but that will be for the redundancy payments for all those meddling bureaucrats that are holding up developments?

Thanks very much Ben, and I thank the young graduate who was here welcoming us to country. And it's great to have someone from beautiful Thursday Island – it's a long way from Thursday Island, from TI to Western Sydney.

I also want to acknowledge Premier Minns and members of his team who are here.

The Leader of the Opposition Angus Taylor who is here.

Ben, I'll single him out of all the people here, because The Daily Telegraph are of course sponsors of this forum, but more importantly, they have been advocates for this airport for a long period of time.

JOURNALIST: Thanks, Prime Minister. So, what concerns do you have for the Alice Springs community, given the scenes we saw overnight after the arrest of a man of the death of a five year old girl?

The Albanese Labor Government has secured two shipments carrying 100 million litres of jet fuel, and another shipment of 50 million litres of diesel to keep Australia moving.

These three new fuel shipments, going to Brisbane, Perth and Darwin, are in addition to the eight shipments already announced in partnership with BP Australia, Ampol, and Viva Energy, which will reach Australia in May and June.

Combined, the Government has secured over 450 million litres of additional diesel and 100 million litres of additional jet fuel to make sure Australians have the fuel they need.

ANNA HENDERSON, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks for joining SBS World News.

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

HENDERSON: The Interim Report has stated that despite an increase in funding for the national intelligence community, the proportion allocated for counter-terrorism significantly declined between 2020 and 2025. Did those funding decisions leave the intelligence agencies without essential resources?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: On 14 December last year, our nation was shattered by an act which was evil. An antisemitic terrorist attack shook the nation. The deadliest terrorist attack that has ever occurred on Australian soil, targeting Jewish Australians on the first night of Chanukah at our iconic Bondi Beach. This should have been an occasion where every Australian could celebrate what is a victory of light over darkness. Instead, 15 innocent men, women and children were killed and many were wounded.

Commissioner the Hon Virginia Bell AC has today delivered the Interim Report of the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.

The Government welcomes the Interim Report, accepts all recommendations that relate to the Commonwealth, and is committed to working with the states and territories to adopt a national approach to implementation of all 14 recommendations.

MADELEINE KING, MINISTER FOR RESOURCES: Good morning everyone. Can I say, it's a delight to have the Prime Minister, my friend Anthony Albanese, back here in Perth for, I think it's his 40-something-th time. Thanks so much for being here today, Prime Minister. And also to my very good friend, the Premier of Western Australia, Roger Cook, and my other very good friend here today, Deputy Premier, Minister for Infrastructure and many other things, Rita Saffioti.

The Albanese and Cook Labor Governments are strengthening Western Australia’s supply chain resilience with a landmark $1.1 billion investment for crucial road connections to the proposed future Westport container terminal in Kwinana.

The Australian Government’s investment of $552 million will be delivered through the upcoming Federal Budget and matched by the Western Australian Government.

The Albanese Government is supercharging the transition to faster, more streamlined project assessments and approvals under our historic environmental law reforms.

The Government will provide more than $45 million over 4 years to progress bilateral agreements with states and territories that will reduce duplication.
