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?
AARON STEVENS, HOST: We welcome the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese to the program this morning. Thanks for your time.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Good to be with you. And it sounds like another beautiful day in Rocky and surrounds.
NAT, HOST: Time to catch up with our friend, the host with the most, Anthony Albanese.
NATHAN, HOST: He's also the Prime Minister.
SHAUN, HOST: He's the Prime Minister.
NAT: Albo, hello.
NATHAN: And he wants us to vote a certain way and that is, ‘Yes, yes, yes!’
SHAUN: Is that him or is that someone else we know that lives in his house?
NATHAN: Prime Minister, good morning!
NAT: Albo, hello.
JAMES VALENTINE, HOST: Prime Minister, good morning.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, James. Good to be with you.
VALENTINE: I didn't know you had such an affinity for jewellery design.
I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and I pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging.
I’m grateful to Collingwood and the AFL for the support they have shown for Constitutional Recognition through a Voice.
It’s a great pleasure to be here on a typical, low-key Friday morning for the Collingwood Footy Club.
I acknowledge all those here today who worked to make this magnificent upgrade possible.
PETE, HOST: Mr Albanese, the Prime Minister of Australia. Good morning to you, sir. How are you?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Greetings from Melbourne.
KYMBA, HOST: You know, the way Pete set that up, sounded like we were speaking to, like, a spoof version of you, like it was going to be a fake.
PETE: A fake caller.
KYMBA: How are you going? Quite a big week.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I am a Hawthorn fan. But today, I am very pleased to be a part of this magnificent event here at Collingwood. And the most significant change in sport, which reflects some of the changes in society, has been the shift to gender equity. And this facility for the AFLW team in particular will make an enormous difference. And it's been great to be here today with the players, with the club as well, celebrating the great history of this fantastic club. And I certainly hope that tomorrow is a very tight game in the Grand Final.
