Doorstop interview - Launceston

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, it's fantastic to be here with the Premier of Tasmania, Jeremy Rockliff, with my Education Minister, Jason Clare, with Senator Helen Polley and with Deputy Premier, Michael Ferguson here this morning. And this is a big day for the Commonwealth and a big day for Tasmania. The two services that are most important to people's lives are health and education. And today, we have some fantastic announcements on both. First of all, it's great to be here at Launceston General Hospital.

North Tasmanians to benefit from investment in heart centre

The Albanese Government will invest $120 million to establish the Northern Heart Centre in Launceston, delivering better health care for northern Tasmanians with heart disease.

The commitment will fund the establishment costs for the Northern Heart Centre, which is a key component of the Launceston General Hospital master plan that has been developed jointly between the Commonwealth and State Governments.

Australian and Tasmanian governments agree to fully fund all Tasmanian public schools

All Tasmanian public schools will be fully and fairly funded by the Albanese and Rockliff Governments following a historic agreement signed today.

Both governments have signed the Better and Fairer Schools Agreement and agreed to increase funding for all public schools in Tasmania to 100 per cent of the Schooling Resource Standard (SRS).

Tasmania has become the third state or territory to sign on to the Better and Fairer Schools Agreement.

Radio interview - 6PR Perth

GARY ADSHEAD, HOST: All right, welcome back to the Perth Royal Show. Now, there has been a VIP, I certainly know, in town this morning. The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. He flew in in relation to a METRONET announcement in terms of the level crossing situation as part of the whole METRONET development on that Armadale Line, which of course has been a source of frustration for a lot of people. But as it's come together, it looks like it's going to be a winner. The Prime Minister is on the line now. Thanks very much for your time, PM.
