Radio interview - ABC Radio Sydney Drive
RICHARD GLOVER, HOST: Prime Minister, good afternoon.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon, Richard. Good to be with you.
GLOVER: What did you see?
RICHARD GLOVER, HOST: Prime Minister, good afternoon.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon, Richard. Good to be with you.
GLOVER: What did you see?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thank you so much everyone. Thank you firstly, Pastor, for welcoming us into your church. Thank you to Rachel Perkins for the leadership that you have shown. And thank you to the faith leaders who are represented around here for the leadership that you're showing to your respective communities to respond positively to the gracious invitation that the Uluru Statement from the Heart represents. To, as it concludes, to walk together to a better future.
I keep a copy of the Uluru Statement from the Heart on the wall of my office in Parliament.
One page. Such economy of words, such generosity of spirit:
“When we have power over our destiny, our children will flourish.
They will walk in two worlds and their culture will be a gift to their country.”
The Uluru Statement from the Heart is a gift to our country, an invitation to all Australians.
And the referendum is the response to that invitation – to say Yes to recognition.

JULIE COLLINS, MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS: It is great to be here at the Clarence TAFE campus and to have the Prime Minister with us. And I want to thank the Tas-TAFE staff and students for coming in and showing us some of the work that they're doing as they go into their nursing exams. We all know that nurses in our hospitals are critically needed. So, it was wonderful to hear today that some of the students will soon be taking up their practice in our hospitals in coming weeks.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It's great to be back together in Tasmania. This is my seventh visit to Tasmania so far this year. And today we've been out and about, we've had meetings with the business community, I visited a TAFE, we've been looking at health care, agriculture, manufacturing, social services. Ministers have been meeting with their state counterparts, as well, talking about how we can work in the interests of Tasmanians, but also of course, in the interests of the nation.
