On behalf of the people of Australia, the Australian Government will make a national contribution of $10,000 to Western Australian charity Friends of the Western Ground Parrot in honour of The King’s Coronation.

This contribution will go towards the conservation of the Western Ground Parrot, a rare and critically endangered bird found in the remote Cape Arid National Park and Nuytsland Nature Reserve, to the east of Esperance.

The Western Ground Parrot is shy and rarely seen, as they spend most of their time on the ground in low dense heathland.

PIERS MORGAN, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome to Britain.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you and great to be in London.

MORGAN: I have a strict rule. I have to confess, normally I don't fraternise with any Australians in the run up to an Ashes series. But I have made an exception for you.

PRIME MINISTER: Well, it's going to be a cracker of a series. And hopefully, we'll go well.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA: Can I thank Secretary Wallace, who's joined me for this tour of these excellent facilities right here in Barrow. And indeed, it's been an enormous privilege. And I want to thank BAE as well for showing us around these facilities and to thank the workers who've given us a warm welcome and spoken firsthand about the work that they are doing, which, of course, will have implications now due to the AUKUS arrangements for what Australia will be doing.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will travel to the United Kingdom from 2 - 6 May to represent Australia at the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort. 

The Prime Minister will join the Governor-General, State Governors and a number of other Australian representatives, including Ms Sam Kerr OAM who will be the Australian flagbearer at the Coronation.  

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: National Cabinet have had a very successful meeting here in Brisbane today, and I want to begin by thanking Annastacia for hosting us here in the great state of Queensland. Today, we have determined a range of reforms around the theme for a better future for the Federation.

The Australian Government will commit an additional $65 million towards the planned UTAS Stadium redevelopment in Launceston.

This matches the commitment already made by the Tasmanian Government, and will accelerate the transformation into a hub of economic activity for Tasmania’s north.

The funding injection means stages 1 and 2 are now able to be completed and the project can be enhanced to meet the regions needs for the longer term.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon, thanks for joining me. It's great to be here in Launceston, to announce that the Federal Labor Government in the Budget on May 9 will have $65 million to match the Tasmanian Government's contribution to upgrade UTAS here. This is about providing world class facilities for sport, but also to attract other events here in Launceston. This ground, I was here, way back, as the Infrastructure Minister more than a decade ago to announce federal funding for the stadium, the grandstands that we see around here.

A once in a generation vision for Hobart’s last remaining waterfront and urban development site will be realised, under a partnership between the Australian and Tasmanian Governments.

A Federal Government investment of $240 million under the 2023-24 Budget, will help unlock the potential of the Macquarie Point precinct, cementing the site as the next step in building a more vibrant Hobart.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, thanks very much. It's great to be here on this very brisk Hobart morning with Premier Rockliff, with my Ministers, Julie Collins, Catherine King, and Carol Brown, as well as the members of the Premier's team for what is a very exciting announcement. This is Tasmania, here in Hobart's last possible urban waterfront development site. And I said to the Premier as we were walking up here, along what looks like a pretty derelict land that we've walked along the path here, that we didn't need to do this to set us up.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: My first act as Prime Minister was, on the 23rd of May last year, to travel to Tokyo for the Quad Leaders meeting. I met with President Biden, Prime Minister Modi and we were hosted by Prime Minister Kishida. That was an important meeting for Australia to work with our very close partners in the region and it was a very positive way for me to begin my Prime Ministership. I am pleased today to announce that Sydney will be the host of the Quad Leaders meeting for 2023 and that meeting will be held here on 24 May 2023.
