ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Premier McGowan rang me this morning and told me of his intention to announce his resignation as Premier. I want to pay tribute to Mark McGowan, my friend, a confidant, but also an extraordinarily successful premier of Western Australia. During the pandemic Mark McGowan stood strong. He stood strong against the claims that WA people should just open up. He did the right thing in order to keep Western Australians safe.
I begin by acknowledging the Kaurna people as the custodians of the lands and waters of the Adelaide region, on which we meet today. I pay respect to elders past, present and emerging.
It's an important beginning wherever we are on this great land, whichever Traditional Owners we have the privilege of acknowledging.
That such a courtesy has become part of the rhythm of Australian life is a good thing.
But it is just a beginning.
This year, we can take the next step on our journey together as a nation and add even greater substance to that acknowledgement.
DR JANE LOMAX-SMITH AM: One of the things that we find so inspirational about South Australia is that having our own Voice to Parliament, we feel that many of the questions in that fog of fiction may be answered by us. Is that one of the areas that will draw inspiration and support for your plans in the next year?
DAVID BEVAN, HOST: Good morning, Prime Minister.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Good to be with you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, guys. Good to be with you.

TIM BLACKWELL, HOST: Now, you know, sometimes, I was thinking this the other day, guys, Barack Obama's playlists are really big?
RICKI-LEE COULTER, HOST: Oh, yeah.
JOEL CREASEY, HOST: Oh yeah, they go they go nuts.
COULTER: It’s like... it's a big thing. It's like Oprah's Book Club, when she endorses a book. If Barack Obama endorses a song, that’s big.
MURRAY JONES, HOST: Good morning to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. How are you this morning, Albo?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Murray. I'm very, very well.
JONES: Well look, 97 times, I know you've been hammered by this, you know hammered with this by the Opposition. But when it comes to power prices things do incredibly look like they're getting a little bit dimmer Albo.
The Government is developing a National Strategy for the Care and Support Economy to make sure we can provide sustainable, high quality care and support for Australians into the future and to make sure the people providing these services have decent jobs.
Public consultation on the draft strategy is now open.
We are encouraging carers, the care and support workforce, people who receive care and support and the broader community to have their say on the draft Strategy.
JOHN LAWS, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has done a lot of travelling again recently, although at the moment he's very much about domestic politics. With the Federal Parliament sitting, of course, it's very domestic and very important. But I'm happy to say that our Prime Minister is on the line. Prime Minister, good morning and welcome.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Morning, John. Good to have you back on air.
