KYLE SANDILANDS, HOST: Let's put him on. Forget about what you've got going on.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I am listening now.

SANDILANDS: Sorry Albo, every time, Prime Minister. Every time, every time you come on, you’ve caught us in the middle of something.

JACKIE ‘O’ HENDERSON, HOST: It’s just women's talk. It happens. It’s natural.

It is such a pleasure to be here with you to talk about this new chapter in the story of Western Sydney – all of it driven by the airport that bears the name of a great Australian.

Nancy-Bird Walton was a woman of curiosity and extraordinary courage. What she saw in flight was the power to connect people and communities across this vast continent.

She looked to a bigger, bolder future – and she blazed her own trail right into it.

This is such a fitting way to honour her.

RORY MCLAREN, HOST: Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good morning to you.

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

MCLAREN: Thank you for your time this morning, Prime Minister. Should South Australians be concerned about the tariff and the trade war that is breaking out in the United States?

JACQUI FELGATE, HOST: Richo, I have to let you go early.

MATTHEW RICHARDSON, PRESENTER: Why is that?

FELGATE: We've got the Prime Minister on the line, so we'll talk to you next week.

RICHARDSON: Albo! See you next week.

FELGATE: Prime Minister, good afternoon. Thanks for coming on the program.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon. Sorry about that, Richo.

RICHARDSON: No, it's all good.

The Albanese Government is future-proofing the transport links for a growing Western Sydney, locking in a future rail connection between Leppington and the new Bradfield City Centre with a $1 billion investment.

The Leppington to Bradfield connection is a missing link on Sydney’s rail network, joining the new Western Sydney International Airport to Sydney’s south west.

Previously in the works, it was shelved under the Coalition Government in 2014, when it cut funding from public transport projects across the nation.

CHRIS BATH, HOST: For 36 minutes, the US tariffs on Australian imports of steel and aluminium have officially been going. The Prime Minister has had a bit to say about it today and he joins me now. Prime Minister, thanks for your time.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon, Chris. Great to be with you.

CLINTON MAYNARD, HOST: This is the biggest story of the day, one of the biggest of the years. Donald Trump has decided he will not give Australia an exemption to a 25 per cent tariff on aluminium and steel exports. No country has been given an exemption. We are supposed to have a good relationship with the United States. That's now in question. Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, joins me. Mr Albanese, thank you for your time.

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

ALI MOORE, HOST: Well, America might be a friend and an ally, in fact arguably our closest. But that hasn't amounted to much when it comes to tariffs, it seems. About 19 minutes ago tariffs were imposed, 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from Australia. So how should we respond and what does it say about the relationship? The Prime Minister is Anthony Albanese. Prime Minister, welcome.

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

MOORE: Hardly the act of a friend.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. The United States’ decision to impose tariffs on Australian steel and aluminium as part of a global decision are concerning. It has been foreshadowed that no country, regardless of its relationship with the United States, has been granted an exemption. Such a decision by the Trump Administration is entirely unjustified.

This is against the spirit of our two nations’ enduring friendship, and fundamentally at odds with the benefits that our economic partnership has delivered over more than 70 years.
