ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day. Good to be with you.
BRENDAN JONES, HOST: Great to talk to you again.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Premier, congratulations.
JACINTA ALLAN, PREMIER OF VICTORIA: Thank you. It's great to welcome you here. I know you are a very important, that we’ve got a very important relationship in the past.
PRIME MINISTER: Indeed.
PREMIER ALLAN: And we look forward to having it with you again in the future.
PRIME MINISTER: It’s a long way from us sitting down at regional development conferences in Bendigo.
Katherine Murphy, Host: Anthony Albanese, welcome to the Pod.
Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister: Good to be with you, Katherine.
Murphy: So, I want to start with the last time we spoke on the podcast, which was, I think, February or March, which feels, I don't know about you, but it feels like several lifetimes ago.
Prime Minister: Feels like a long time ago.
BELINDA KING, HOST: Cabinet is coming to Hobart this week as well. So this morning we have the pleasure of being joined by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to talk through these topics and more. Prime Minister, good morning.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Belinda. And can I just add my gratitude and my congratulations to Legacy on celebrating 100 years. To all those volunteers, they do an extraordinary job.
LUCY BREADEN, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks for your time.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, great to be with you, looking forward to being in Tassie today and tomorrow.
BREADEN: Today and tomorrow? So, what brings you here?
ADREN MCKAY: Thank you so much for coming. The turn-out is spectacular. My name is Arden, I'm the leader of the chapter for Montrose, Glenorchy, Goodwood. The list of suburbs seems to increase every time I look at it. I would like to just introduce a couple of special guests, Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, and the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney.
SABRA LANE, HOST: There are just 11 days to go until the referendum on the Voice to Parliament. If set up, the Voice would advise Parliament and government on matters affecting First Nations people. It wouldn't have a power of veto. If the polls are right, it's heading for defeat. It was a promise that Anthony Albanese made the night he won the election last year to embrace the Uluru Statement in full. The Prime Minister is in Hobart and he joins me now. Good morning and welcome to the program.
SAM RAE, MEMBER FOR HAWKE: Good morning, everyone. It's fantastic to be here in Sunbury Gumboots Early Learning Centre at Jacksons Hill and to be here with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. It's a very important day, it's the first day of pre-poll voting for the Voice. But of course, as this Labor Government always is, we have a laser-like focus on cost of living issues and their impacts on families, both here and across the country. We're here in an early learning centre today.
RAFAEL EPSTEIN, HOST: Anthony Albanese is the Prime Minister of Australia, good morning.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, good to be with you Raf.
EPSTEIN: Do you think it was a Dan Andrews Government or a Labor Government?
