ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Today, I’m very pleased to advise that the Australian Government has recommended to his Excellency the Governor-General, a number of senior command changes within the Australian Defence Force. Subject to the Governor-General's consideration and approval, the changes will take effect in July of this year. Our Government is recommending that Vice-Admiral David Johnston be promoted to serve as the new Chief of the Defence Force.

The Australian Government is pleased to recommend to His Excellency, the Governor-General, a number of senior command changes within the Australian Defence Force (ADF). Subject to the Governor-General’s consideration and approval, the changes will take effect in July 2024.

GREG JENNETT, HOST: Welcome back to the program. I know time is limited so we appreciate it all the more.

PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon.

JENNETT: After the deaths of Zomi Frankcom and six others, you appointed Mark Binskin to seek, “clear information and transparency around the circumstances of those killings". What details are missing from the IDF investigation so far released?

THOMAS ORITI, HOST: Australia's major supermarkets could be fined billions of dollars under a proposal from a former Labor Minister tasked with investigating the industry's dealings with suppliers. Dr. Craig Emerson's interim report recommends the Government to create a mandatory code with potentially massive financial penalties amid allegations the grocers are abusing their market power. Now, important to note, there's currently a voluntary code of conduct. Few issues though, the supermarkets themselves drafted it.

JULIAN HILL, MEMBER FOR BRUCE: Thanks everyone. I'm Julian Hill, the Member for Bruce. And we're here in the heart of the Bruce electorate, but really in the heart of the city of Casey. This is my colleague, Cassandra Fernando, the Member for Holt, who covers most of the rest of the city of Casey. And we're both absolutely delighted to welcome the Prime Minister here yet again. I don't want to make him sound like a stalker, but he's a frequent visitor here to southeast Melbourne.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet, and I pay respects to all Elders past, present and emerging.

One of my great privileges as Prime Minister is being invited to celebrate anniversaries. Moments when we get to come together in joy and appreciation to mark a milestone in the life of our nation.

What’s less common is to come together and be able to say: Here is something that changed the world.  

Thank you to Liverpool City Council and Mayor Ned Mannoun for inviting me to today.

I’d also like to acknowledge the member for Fowler, Dai Le, who I know has been a big supporter of this project.

And the member for Werriwa, Anne Stanley, who of course has proudly served as a councillor on Liverpool City Council.

I’m thrilled to join you all for the opening of this magnificent new precinct.

This development sends a strong message about the future of Western Sydney.

It says this region is growing, fast.

Businesses are moving here.

The Interstate Terminal at the Moorebank Intermodal Precinct officially opens this morning, marking an important milestone in the Albanese Government’s commitment to build a resilient, efficient and sustainable national supply chain and support a future made in Australia.

It will be Australia’s first major metropolitan ‘independent’ interstate terminal, operating under an open access arrangement and not controlled by a single existing above rail operator.

ANNE STANLEY, MEMBER FOR WERRIWA: I'd like to welcome you all to Southwest Sydney but most importantly, the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. As the Federal Infrastructure Minister some 10 years ago, he was the one that had the vision for this part of the world. And it's going to make so much of difference to the residents and my constituents who are going to be able to find work. And it's just so exciting that this is finally opening. I introduce you to the Prime Minister.

In 2007, I was appointed Australia’s first ever Infrastructure Minister, with the creation of Infrastructure Australia was a central policy.

This was about ensuring cost benefit analysis of projects to drive productivity and economic growth were the focus of the national government’s investment, not electoral maps.

There is no greater example of the difference this approach has made than in this transformative project.
