HOST: Joel Creasy's with us –
HOST: That doesn't matter. The Prime Minister's here.
HOST: – and so is the Prime Minister. Albo, welcome back.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Great to be back in Perth.
HOST: I saw you on Saturday night, Albo. We were at the same function, and you spoke wonderfully, but we didn't get a chance to see each other. Maybe you were avoiding me. I'm not sure. You were with a much cooler table up the front.
After discussions between Australia and China, including between the Prime Minister and China’s Premier Li, the Albanese Labor Government has helped to secure three shipments of jet fuel, totaling more than 600,000 barrels or about 100 million litres.
The Government has also helped to secure another 38,500 tonnes of agricultural grade urea from Brunei, for Australian farmers, producers, and our agriculture industry, to keep Australia’s food and fiber production systems strong.
OLY PETERSON, HOST: Joining me in the studios this afternoon is the Prime Minister. Welcome back to Drive.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Great to be back in Perth.
PETERSON: It's been a harder budget sell than you probably anticipated, Anthony Albanese.
STEVE GEORGANAS, MEMBER FOR ADELAIDE: Good morning everyone, and welcome to the federal seat of Adelaide. It's great to be here with the Prime Minister here today in the electorate of Adelaide, the Premier, Peter Malinauskas, Nick Champion, and my colleague Louise Miller Frost from the neighbouring seat of Boothby. We were here in 2025 in May to have a look at the construction that was just beginning with the Prime Minister and the Premier.
Two more brand-new apartment buildings including 100 homes ready to be lived in have now been completed at Prospect Corner in Adelaide, as a result of the Albanese Government’s Housing Australia Future Fund program and the Malinauskas State Government.
Today Prime Minister Albanese and Premier Malinauskas marked the milestone by visiting the site and meeting with local residents.
DAN TAYLOR, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, welcome. How are you going?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Wonderful to be back in Hobart again.
TAYLOR: Oh, it's great to be here, too. And you're talking about Tasmania's newest suburb, which is very exciting. Tell us about this – community facilities, local shops, ferry terminals. Exciting.
HOST: We are joined by the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, who is in studio with us. Good morning to you, PM.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Great to be here.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I'm absolutely delighted to be back in Tasmania, on the banks of the beautiful Derwent.
KATE THWAITES, MEMBER FOR JAGAJAGA: Good morning, everyone. I'm Kate Thwaites, I'm the Member for Jagajaga. It's an absolute pleasure to be welcoming the Prime Minister, the Housing Minister, and my State colleague, Anthony Carbines, here today to Rosanna, where we are going to be putting 45 new homes just here. As you can see, they're just about ready to go. So, that will be people in our community getting a safe and secure roof over their heads, and I know how much that means to people around here.
The Albanese Federal Government and Rockliff State Government will work together to redevelop and transform Tasmania’s Dowsing Point to provide more housing, open space and community infrastructure.
The 31-hectare site, which currently houses the Derwent Barracks, has been identified for divestment as part of the Australian Government’s response to the independent Defence Estate Audit.
The Albanese and Rockliff Governments are committed to the redevelopment of the site, recognising its potential to deliver significant new housing supply in the greater Hobart region.
