STEVENS: Couldn't you get through?
PRIME MINISTER: Yeah, it was just ringing out.
HOST: Prime Minister, welcome back to the show.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It's always an incentive just to hear the intro.
HOST: Wouldn't it be great if you could walk out of Parliament and that just played as you walked in, like Conor McGregor style?
HOST: Yeah, he's not a wrestler.
Can I acknowledge the people of the Yolngu nation.
I recognise all their elders, leaders and families who have given so much to Australia.
In particular, I acknowledge the Gumatj clan whose lands we are meeting on today.
I also acknowledge my parliamentary colleagues from across the spectrum.
I acknowledge union and business leaders, faith and sporting leaders and all of my fellow Australians here today, Indigenous and non-Indigenous coming together.
MATT CUNNINGHAM, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks for your time.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be here.
CUNNINGHAM: You said yesterday to the Dilak Council that not only would you be going to this referendum, but that it would succeed. How can you be so confident?
DAVID SPEERS, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome to the program.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be here at this rather extraordinary venue.
SPEERS: No, it certainly is. Look, you said, PM, that you wanted to come here to listen. Can I ask, what have you heard?

DAVE HUGHES, HOST: It's the National Anthem

PRIME MINISTER: Erin, please.
MOLAN: We don't hear it as often as we used to, PM.
I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, I pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging.
I’m proud to lead a Government that will give every Australian the opportunity to vote for Constitutional Recognition through a Voice, in a referendum later this year.
In the Territory, there are great local examples of what can be achieved when governments listen to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and work with them: from schools to employment programs to Indigenous Rangers.
