I would like to acknowledge all those serving men and women who are with us today and all the veterans who are with us today.

It is a great honour for me to be here with you.

I want to also acknowledge my parliamentary colleague and friend Shayne Neumann for the outstanding work that he does on an ongoing basis as a representative of this local community that he is so passionate about.

To the Mayor and other dignitaries who are here and particularly to the officials of the RSL, thank you for the invitation to share this important day with you.

ANDY TAYLOR, HOST: Good morning, Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning to you from Brisbane.

ESTHER NICOLS, HOST: Thank you so much for calling into the show, Prime Minister. We've got a few things we want to cover off on and we've had a lot of text messages from Tassie. But first of all, the Tillies tonight.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, welcome everyone, to the meeting of the National Cabinet. It is great to be back together again. It is great to be back together again. We are discussing housing, but also discussing that in the context of the cost-of-living pressures that families are under around the country, due to the global pressures which are there on inflation as a result of both the Russian invasion of Ukraine that has had an impact on global energy prices that have flowed through to global inflation, but also the aftermath of the pandemic.

National Cabinet met in Brisbane today to deliver on a range of priorities for Australians, with a focus on more secure and affordable housing.

Delivering more housing supply is a vital part of National Cabinet’s plan to ensure communities thrive as they grow. All governments recognise the best way to ensure more Australians have a safe and affordable place to call home is to boost housing supply.

DANNY CHIFLEY, HOST: We’ve got a special guest phoning in at the moment. Who do we have on the line right now?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, it's Anthony Albanese here. How are you going?

CHIFLEY: Very well, thank you very much. That'd be Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese.

PRIME MINISTER: Indeed, indeed.

The Albanese Government is working with states and territories to deliver the Help to Buy Scheme, supporting up to 40,000 low and middle income families to purchase a home of their own.

This will bring home ownership back into reach for thousands of Australians who have been locked out of the housing market.

The Government will provide an equity contribution to eligible participants of up to 40 per cent for new homes and 30 per cent for existing homes.

Well thank you Kate.

It's terrific to be here with you, with Minister Pat Conroy, with the representatives of the Pacific who are here to launch these Pacific Rugby League Championships.

I do want to also acknowledge the work of all of those who've made this happen, including the coaches, Mal Meninga and Ben Jeffries.

Welcome.

It is an honour to be here to launch these championships.
