I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet. I pay my respect to their elders past, present and emerging, and I pay my respect to any Indigenous people who are joining us here today.

To Carole Crean and the members of the Crean Family, to Brigadier Robert Marsh representing the Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia, Professor James Angus, the Lieutenant General of Victoria, to the Premier of Victoria, Dan Andrews and to Cath Andrews, and to Sussan Ley representing the Leader of the Opposition.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, good morning and thank you for joining me.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Virginia. Good to speak with you, although it will of course be a very sad day for Simon's family, for his many friends and for the entire labour movement. We farewell a giant today at the Cathedral.

GLENN STOLZENHEIN, HOST: Good morning, Prime Minister. How are you going?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, great to be talking with you again.

STOLZENHEIN: Great to have you in this beautiful part of the world, of course. What's on the agenda today?

FIONA PHILLIPS MP, MEMBER FOR GILMORE: Hi everyone. Well, I'm delighted to be here at the Milton Rural Landcare Nursery here at Ulladulla, of course with Anthony Albanese, the Prime Minister of Australia. I was absolutely thrilled that Albo was in our area, our beautiful area, today and I could bring him to this nursery to have a look at the forest recovery project. Soon after the bushfires I went to visit a local couple in Yatte Yattah, and they had lost their home in the bushfire. They were rebuilding.

CHARLES NORTHCOTE, BLUECHP: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome here today. We're absolutely delighted to have the prime minister with us. My name is Charles Northcote, I'm the CEO of BlueCHP, we're a community housing provider and we have built these homes here and the one next door. And these are homes that are going to provide people with affordable housing, and they're going to see great benefit for their lives going forward.

ANDREW CLENNELL, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks so much for joining us.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon, Andrew.

CLENNELL: I'll talk to you about the Fadden result in a moment, but let's talk about this Newspoll on the Voice first of all. Just 41 per cent support, 48 per cent opposition: is this thing dead in the water before the campaign even starts?

RICHARD KING, HOST: Good morning, Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, I look forward to being in Muswellbrook this morning.

KING: And look, I've had a little look at this, the meat. Can you explain a little bit about what it is you'll be launching in Muswellbrook today please, Prime Minister?

Thanks very much and congratulations to you and Muswellbrook Council on what you're doing here which is quite magnificent, and I think is leading the country.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, that was a truly innovative opening, the best ribbon cutting I've ever seen.

JOURNALIST: What inside this building could you see this morning that you think will help help transition workers in Muswellbrook?

BEN FORDHAM, HOST: He's been around the world representing Australia and obviously criss-crossing the country, busy being Prime Minister. But I'm very happy to say that he's in the 2GB studios with us this morning. And he's feeling a little bit nervous, Anthony Albanese, because right after this interview, he's taking part in the Prime Minister's Spelling Bee. And he tells me last year that he was beaten by a 12-year-old. Prime Minister, good morning to you.
