Today, we, the leaders of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States mark the second anniversary of the announcement of AUKUS.
LINDA BURNEY, MINISTER FOR INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS: Good morning everyone and thank you so much for coming along today. Barack Obama said, "If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress." Today, after walking 650 kilometres from Melbourne to Sydney for the second time, I think it's fair to say that Michael Long is a living example that if you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. Michael, thank you for your decency. Thank you for your strength.
DANNY CHIFLEY, HOST: Who's that we've got on the phone right now?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day. Anthony Albanese here. How are you? Down in Canberra.
CHIFLEY: Oh my god. Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. Thank you so much for calling today to subscribe to 2SER as part of our Radiothon. It's very much appreciated.
PRIME MINISTER: My absolute pleasure. Although I don't think I can win the album.
Ashleigh Raper, Host: Prime Minister, all along you said when the campaign started properly and people began engaging with the Voice that you were confident the majority of Australians would vote Yes. Are you still confident?
PAUL AMOS, MAYOR OF COFFS HARBOUR: What a wonderful progressive day for Coffs Harbour. It is my absolute pleasure to have the leader of our nation here, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. It's just an absolute blast for Coffs Harbour. Thank you for giving us your time on a weekend, I know you don't get weekends. But still, we value it so much. And without any further ado, the Prime Minister of Australia.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese signed a Strategic Partnership with President of the Philippines HE Ferdinand R Marcos Jr during his visit to Manila on 8 September.
The new Strategic Partnership establishes an enduring framework for closer cooperation with the Philippines, one of Australia’s key partners in Southeast Asia, based on a strong alignment of strategic interests.
In Manila, Prime Minister Albanese announced the following initiatives to boost ties with the Philippines:
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Can I just say that it was a great honour to be the first Australian Prime Minister in twenty years to make a bilateral visit to the Philippines. And can I thank President Marcos and Mrs. Marcos for their gracious hosting of us today. It was a very successful visit with some practical outcomes, taking the relationship between Australia and the Philippines up to a new level. Included in that, of course, is the strategic partnership that we signed today.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I'm very pleased to have returned to India and participated in the G20 Summit.
The G20 is such an important body. It represents 85 per cent of global GDP. And that's why what happened here matters. That matters at home as well. Because we know that inflation is a global problem, and international engagement is part of the solution.
Whether it's climate change, energy, resources or supply chains, being part of these conversations means that Australia gets to shape the solutions.
Prime Minister Albanese joined world leaders in New Delhi this weekend for the G20 Leaders' Summit to discuss collective responses to the world’s most pressing economic challenges.
G20 leaders discussed global measures to ease cost-of-living pressures, including free, fair and rules-based trade, enhancing supply chain resilience and shoring up food and energy security.
Australia’s attendance at the G20 Summit allows our country to work with the world’s major economies to shape solutions for our region and the world.
