Press conference - Canberra

PRIME MINISTER, ANTHONY ALBANESE: I want to begin by passing on my condolences and respect to the family and many, many friends of Simon Crean. This news came as a great shock, and the entire labour movement is saddened by the loss of Simon Crean far too early. I caught up with Simon just a month ago, he was fit and enjoying life. And this shock news has reverberated right around our movement.

AMANDA KELLER, HOST: Well, it seems for a lot of people, the Voice to Parliament has been a confusing topic. What will change for us, what does it mean? These are the questions people are finding themselves asking, especially over the last few days after the Voice referendum passed the Senate. The questions need an answer and the best person to explain all of this to us is the Prime Minister himself, Mr Anthony Albanese. Good morning.

BRENDAN JONES, HOST: Hello, Prime Minister.
