JAY PETERS, HOST: It's good to see that the Revitalisation Project kicks off today. Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, he's kicking things off. He joins us at the moment. Look, Prime Minister, can we just call you Albo?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Too many syllables in that for you, is there?

PETERS: I mean, we're thinking AA, but that's something else.

DAVE SHIPSTON, HOST: That's very true.

We gather here in Bondi to grieve for all that has been stolen from us.

All the possibility and potential, all the kindness and humanity.

All the love and laughter of the six lives snatched away on that hardest of Saturday afternoon.

We keep this vigil for them - to honour all they were, to pay respect to all they meant.

We mourn for all the years of joy they should have known.

All the memories they should have had the chance to make.

The new life they would have lived, here in their new country.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will travel to Papua New Guinea from 22 – 25 April to meet with Prime Minister Marape, walk sections of the Kokoda Track and commemorate Anzac Day.

The Kokoda campaign lasted from July to November 1942, with about 56,000 Australians involved. Around 625 Australians were killed and over 1,600 were wounded along the track.

Each year many Australians take the challenge of walking the Kokoda Track, alongside Papua New Guineans, to not only test their limits, but to reflect on the events that took place.

Patients at the new Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre at Melbourne’s Alfred Hospital will have access to cutting-edge scanning technology that will be able to detect cancers earlier.

The Albanese Government is investing $12 million through the 2024–25 Budget, to purchase and install a Quadra Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Molecular Imaging scanner. The Victorian Government and The Alfred Foundation will match this funding.

This scanner is better able to detect smaller lesions meaning cancers can be diagnosed sooner.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks for joining us, at the end of what has been, in many senses, a dark week for Australia, this has been an element of light. Shining positive vision, here in Victoria, but also providing hope and inspiration for the battle against melanoma and against other cancers. This facility is world class. And I pay tribute to all who've been engaged in the work. Particularly the leadership of Paula Fox, whose vision has been realised today.

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.

I had the great privilege of launching this project in June 2022, during my first visit to Melbourne as Prime Minister.  

Back then this Centre was still very much a vision.

A vision of hope — for patients and their families.

What a transformation there’s been since.

The Alfred isn’t a newcomer to healthcare, or research. It’s been at the forefront for more than 150 years. And this building is a masterclass in both.

TOM ELLIOTT, HOST: Joining us on the line now is the other big political master in our lives, the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Mr Albanese, good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Tom. Good to be with you. And good to be back in Melbourne where the sun's just come out.

ELLIOTT: Yes, well, it's a rare thing at this time of year, I can tell you. Now, your policy about picking winners, about investing in Australia, are you confident that as a Government you know the right industries to invest in?

HOST: Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Welcome to Melbourne's number one FM breakfast show.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Congratulations on number one. And for goodness sake, someone get these people a capo.

HOST: Albo, is there any chance, could we get a police escort for this capo? Because we have a superstar, Stephen Sanchez, about to perform.

PRIME MINISTER: Well, I am on my way to Melbourne, so if anyone in Sydney has got a capo, if you can get to the airport, it’ll get a ride.

LEILA MCKINNON, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joins me now in Canberra. Prime Minister, thank you for your time. Many heroes, of course, came out of this horrific attack. You've said the Bollard Man, who's French, can stay as long as he likes. Does the same apply to Muhammad Taha, the injured security guard who's from Pakistan?

JANICE PETERSEN, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, thanks so much for joining us. In the aftermath of the church stabbing terrorism investigation, there were fears about whether multiculturalism and social cohesion in Australia was at risk. Why do you think the violence took hold so quickly?
