ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It's wonderful to be back here in Shanghai for my second visit to China as the Prime Minister of Australia. There are important meetings to be had this week, and the fact that I am leading a very large business delegation speaks to the importance of the economic relationship between Australia and China. We know that one in four of Australia's jobs depends on our exports, and China is our major trading partner, with exports to China being worth more in value than the next four countries combined.

MICHELLE GEBER, CEO OF CHÂTEAU TANUNDA: Good morning, everyone. It’s such a pleasure to welcome you, and absolutely incredible, we’re so honoured to have the PM here to visit us at Château Tanunda, our Sydney Cellar Door, in The Rocks. We’re a 135-year-old family winery, and the resumption of trade in China has meant so much to our business. Over the last year, we’ve seen an increase in 1,000 per cent of our sales into China. And so, you know, we’re so thankful and grateful for your trip that’s coming up, and we would like to welcome you to speak.

ANTHONY ALBANESE MP, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks very much for joining us and today I'm joined by Minister Tony Burke and also Jillian Segal, the Special Envoy to myself on antisemitism. Antisemitism is an evil scourge. There is no place in Australia for antisemitism. The kind of hatred and violence that we’ve seen on our streets recently is despicable, and it won’t be tolerated. And I want those responsible to face the full force of the law.

At the invitation of Premier Li Qiang, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will travel to the People’s Republic of China from Saturday 12 July to Friday 18 July 2025 for the Annual Leaders’ Meeting.

The Prime Minister will hold the Australia–China Annual Leaders' Meeting with Premier Li in Beijing. The Prime Minister will also meet President Xi Jinping and Chairman Zhao Leji of the National People’s Congress.

Leaders will exchange views on global and regional issues as well as bilateral cooperation in areas including trade and tourism.

JULIE COLLINS, MINISTER FOR AGRICULTURE, FISHERIES AND FORESTRY: It's terrific to be here at the Urgent Care Clinic in Hobart. There are two Urgent Care Clinics in Hobart. This is the Ochre Health one in Liverpool Street. I was saying to the Prime Minister, who it's terrific to have in Hobart yet again, I think it's the third visit since the election that the Prime Minister's been down to Tassie to be here with the Labor Leader Dean Winter. And importantly of course with Ella Haddad, who's Labor Spokesperson for Health, and the Ochre Health team.

I am pleased to announce that I intend to recommend to the Governor-General that she appoint Mr Mike Kaiser as Secretary of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

Mr Kaiser has extensive experience in both the public and private sectors including in senior roles in the Queensland public service, having served as Director General of the Department of Premier and Cabinet, Director-General of the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning, and as Director General of the Department of Resources.

HOST: Hit Breakfast with Dan and Christie with producer Matt this morning and we are honoured to be joined by the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese joins us. Good morning, Albo.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Glad to be back in beautiful Hobart.

HOST: Yes.

PRIME MINISTER: Wonderful sunrise this morning.

HOST: We get them every single day, mate. And it's a new day with new challenges. What is on the agenda? What's the reason for the visit?

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.

Eighty years ago acting Prime Minister Frank Forde rose in the House of Representatives and told a still and sombre chamber:

“The Captain has been stricken in sight of the shore.” 

Through the dark days of conflict, Curtin had urged the men and women of Australia forward to:

“Victory in war, victory for the peace”.

He would not live to see either, yet no Australian did more to achieve both.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Last night's arson attack on the synagogue in East Melbourne is cowardly, is an act of violence and antisemitism, and has no place in Australian society.

It is to be hoped that the perpetrator is brought to justice urgently, and that he faces the full force of the law, and anyone involved in this attack faces the full force of the law.

I have spoken just today with Rabbi Dovid Gutnick. Dovid is someone who is very proud of the community that he leads.

SCOTT BEVAN, HOST: Well before he heads to Newcastle, Prime Minister Albanese has kindly given up some of his Saturday morning to join us here. Prime Minister, good morning to you.
