RISHI SUNAK, PRIME MINISTER OF THE UNITED KINGDOM: Good morning, everyone. It's great to welcome Anthony back to the UK, but especially to Downing Street. I think we had a fantastic meeting when we last saw each other in San Diego. And it just shows the strength of the partnership and the friendship between our two countries. We've got great news, because our Free Trade Agreement we're announcing is coming into force imminently, which is going to be an enormous opportunity for our citizens and our businesses.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It was great to be welcomed by Prime Minister Sunak, our third meeting, our first here at Number 10 after successful meetings at the G20 and also for the launch of AUKUS in San Diego, along with President Biden. Here today we discussed the relationship between Australia and the UK that has never been stronger. We discussed AUKUS and our defence co-operation, following upon my visit up to Barrow.

The Albanese Labor Government is committed to helping single parents balance their work and family responsibilities.

The Federal Budget 2023-24 will expand access to financial support by raising the age cut-off for the Parenting Payment (Single) from 8 to 14.

Many single parents – overwhelmingly women – face difficulty balancing caring responsibilities and work.

These difficulties do not end when their child turns eight.

We also know that many single mothers have experienced violence from a previous partner and are at greater risk of financial hardship.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, thanks very much. It's great to be back in Australia, and once again in this beautiful city of Perth, on what is a delightful morning as the sun rises. And tomorrow night, we want the sun to rise on Australia, on our economy. We have made some difficult decisions to provide cost of living relief, whilst making sure that we don't put further pressure on inflation.

NATALIE LOCKE, HOST: Hey everybody, guess what. The Prime Minister in the house.

NATHAN MORRIS, HOST: Isn't it amazing?

SHAUN MCMANUS, HOST: He’s not waiting for anybody.

PRIME MINISTER: Hey, everybody.

MORRIS: Hello, Prime Minister.

LOCKE: Fresh from the coronation, Anthony Albanese.

PRIME MINISTER: Great to be here.

MCMANUS: Tiredness out of, between one and ten please sir?

Well, friends, it is good to be back. And it's good to be here the day before what will be a Labor Budget in every sense tomorrow night. A Labor Budget which tackles the immediate challenges that are before us.

When talking with other international leaders in the UK, at the sidelines of the Coronation, there are none who didn't wish they were Australia. You have global inflation having a major impact on slowing economies right around the world.

PRUE FREEMAN, DIRECTOR OF DAISY GREEN: Good afternoon everyone. Welcome to Bondi Green I am delighted to be here with our Prime Minister. For a little bit about Daisy Green; I founded Daisy Green just over 10 years ago. I moved here for a year and 10 to 13 years later, I'm here with 14 amazing Australian-inspired cafes. We serve Australian brunch, great coffee.

During his visit to the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced 31 May as the date of entry into force of the Australia-United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement (A-UKFTA), following the expected completion of UK domestic processes.

Thank you very much Stephen. Thank you to you, as High Commissioner, and to Jane and to all the staff at the High Commission, who have worked really hard so that we can just turn up and do what we need to do without any concerns about about Australia's position.

I've got to say that whenever I travel overseas, you just see Australia punching above their weight in foreign affairs.

And can I can also acknowledge this bloke here, he is an absolute legend. And the other VC winners, of course, who who are here with us.

STEVE CANNANE, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks so much for talking to the ABC.

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

CANNANE: A start date for the Free Trade Agreement has been agreed upon between the UK and Australia. When will that be and what will be the immediate benefits for Australia?
