MARK LEVY, HOST: I thought we'd catch up with Mr Albanese, who's on the line from Canberra. Prime Minister, good morning to you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Mark. Good to be with you, but sorry about the circumstances.

LEVY: Yeah, it's an extremely sad day, isn't it? We've lost a radio legend.

KYLE SANDILANDS, HOST: Ladies and gentlemen, the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. We're just connecting to him now. But I did hear Russell Crowe, legendary actor, a friend of the show, we love Russell, on with Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan says ‘what's wrong with Australia? What's going on there?’ As if we've, something's going wrong down here. We love our life in Australia. It's a most magnificent country ever. We're away from a lot of the rat bags. And Russell said something really lovely and spot on, I think, about our Prime Minister, Albo.

CHRIS SMITH, HOST: The Prime Minister of Australia is on the line. Anthony Albanese, welcome to the Super Radio Network.

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

SMITH: I reached out to your office last night because I knew how much respect you had for the great John Laws. He was an icon, wasn't he?

MICHAEL WIPFLI, HOST: Plenty to talk about with this man because I know he was at Oasis on Friday night. We have some social media laws changing. There's a photo of the Prime Minister at Oasis.

RYAN FITZGERALD, HOST: There's Davey Warner and Candice Warner as well.

WIPFLI: God, he's got the whole team there. We welcome him to the show. Prime Minister, hello.

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

KATE RITCHIE, HOST: Good morning.

DOM KNIGHT, HOST: Anthony Albanese, good morning.

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

KNIGHT: A sad day for Labor and a sad day really for all who love politics.

With the passing of Graham Richardson, we have lost a giant of the Labor Party and a remarkable Australian.

He served as NSW Labor General Secretary. At 33, he arrived in Federal Parliament as the then youngest ever Senator and went on to serve as a Minister in the Hawke and Keating governments.

He served as Minister for Social Security, for Transport and Communications, and for Health – but it was his impact as Minister for the Environment he will be most remembered for. As Minister, he championed the protection of our natural environment, including saving the Daintree.

CLARE ARMSTRONG, HOST: Flossie, Prime Minister, thanks for joining me. Flossie, tell me about this pledge you've created for your classmates?

FLOSSIE, YEAR 6 STUDENT: Well, for my exhibition this year, I created a pledge that anyone under 16 could sign who came to our exhibition, and it pretty much stated that they promised they wouldn't go on social media until they were over 16. And that they would obey the government ban.

ARMSTRONG: And what gave you the idea? Why did you decide to do this?

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, and pay my respects to elders past and present.

I want to thank the IndustriALL General Secretary, Atle Høie, and congratulate his team on putting together a fantastic Congress.

I’d also like to recognise the work of Australian affiliates of IndustriALL and their work in bringing this great Congress to Sydney.

I trust the Australian delegation’s commitment to hospitality is surpassed only by their commitment to solidarity.

Australia’s top scientists, innovators and educators have been recognised in the 2025 Prime Minister’s Prizes for Science. From redefining air quality science to advancing quantum cybersecurity, and this year, for the first time, honouring the deep knowledge systems of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, this year’s recipients highlight the diverse talent driving Australia’s scientific excellence and inspiring the next generation.

I begin by thanking Aunty Violet for the Welcome to Country, and I join in acknowledging the owners of the traditional lands on which we're meeting this evening, pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging. And also acknowledge and pay my respects to First Nations people who are joining us here this evening.

I’d like to acknowledge the Minister for Industry and Science, Senator Tim Ayres, the Assistant Minister for Science, Dr Andrew Charlton, and other members and senators that are here.
