Every Anzac Day, we pause to carve out a sacred moment from the routines of daily life and, in solemnity and pride, come together as a nation to acknowledge our debt to Australians who have gone to war in our name.

At war memorials across our continent, from the biggest cities to the smallest country town, Australians begin gathering before first light. We gather in respect and reflection, gratitude and reverence. And we gather in every corner of the world made hallow by the sacrifice of our fallen – from Kokoda to the Western Front to the Dardanelles.

On Anzac Day, we pause to acknowledge the debt all of us owe to Australians who have gone to war in our name.

One hundred and eleven years after the first Gallipoli landing, Anzac Day has come to stand for every generation of Australians who have served.

TIM LESTER, HOST: To answer our questions, who better than the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, welcome to The Issue. 

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

LESTER: You're a newlywed in The Lodge. Now that's unique in and of itself. So, how is newlywed life going for you and Jodie with a war on in the Middle East and the threat of a global recession and everything else you've got to deal with for your day job?

The Albanese and Rockliff Governments are protecting jobs and critical manufacturing capability at Liberty Bell Bay during its administration process.  

EY have formally accepted both Governments offer to jointly provide a $3 million loan, on a 50:50 basis, to support workers while administrator EY continues to conduct an expedited sale of the facility.  

This support is about providing workers with more certainty in what has been a very difficult time for the community.   

PATRICIA KARVELAS, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome to Afternoon Briefing. 

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

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon. Today, we held a National Cabinet meeting and it was the third that we have had since the conflict in the Middle East began. It was a very constructive meeting, an important one, to provide the states and territories with updates from the Fuel Security Taskforce Commissioner, Anthea Harris, and also from Minister Bowen and myself. Australia remains steady at level two in our National Fuel Security Plan that has been agreed to by the National Cabinet. Australia's fuel supply outlook remains secure in the near term.
