HOST: We are joined now by the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, who joins us on day one of the Undie Drive to raise funds for Catherine House and the Hutt St Centre. Prime Minister, good morning. Thank you so much for your time.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. To be clear, that wasn't the motivation for joining you this morning. But it is a good cause. And good on you.
SARAH HARRIS, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joins us. Prime Minister, if the Greens will accept an extra $500 million for social housing, why not just give it to them so we can get this done?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. I welcome the draft decision overnight from the UN's Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation, or UNESCO, not to list the Great Barrier Reef in danger. This confirms my government is working hard to protect the reef, is acting on climate change, and that the rest of the world has taken notice.
PATRICIA KARVELAS, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome to RN Breakfast.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Patricia.
KARVELAS: The Greens have confirmed housing negotiations will resume this week. Prime Minister, they've said they've cut back on their demands. Are you also willing to increase what you're offering?
LIAM FLANAGAN, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Wonderful to be here. I'm a bit almost knocked out by the fumes as you come in the studio here.
LIESEL JONES, HOST: : It was not my fault. That was Dobbo and he sprayed all the spray around.
BEN DOBBIN, HOST: A bit of eucalyptus never hurt anyone. So big night here in Brisbane.
PRIME MINISTER: Huge night here in Brisbane.
CHARLES NORTHCOTE, CEO, BLUECHP: It's a proud day here to have the Prime Minister here at this beautiful building: 42 units, two bedroom units that we built and are housing people on the social housing list. Currently it's nearly full, except for the room which we're standing in and the one next door. And we have a great community. The youngest person here in this building is about five months, the oldest is 73. So we house a great variety of people.
REBECCA LEVINGSTON, HOST: Fresh from a Matildas loss last night and hoping for a housing win this morning, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, good morning.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Good to be here.
LEVINGSTON: Briefly let's talk sport. How was last night?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Can I just welcome friends, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, here to Australia and to say that this AUSMIN meeting comes at a very important time. The relationship between Australia and the United States has never been stronger. It comes at a time of strategic competition in our region. Australia and the United States are working together to promote security, stability and prosperity in our region. I look forward to the discussion today.
Late last night, an Australian Army MRH-90 helicopter impacted waters close to Hamilton Island.
A search and rescue commenced immediately.
Sadly, the four aircrew who were on board are yet to be found.
The families of the four aircrew have been notified of this incident.
Our first thoughts are with the loved ones of the missing.
All Australians hold them in our hearts and we hold onto hope as the search and rescue teams go about their work right now. We have the utmost confidence in their professionalism and skill.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Today every Australian is thinking of the four families of the missing aircrew. Our thoughts are also with those that they serve alongside - friends, brothers and sisters in uniform who even now are aiding in the search effort. I'd also like to thank the support from other nations during this search effort. Our nation offers them all the strength that we can while their work goes on.
