LISA SHAW, HOST: Well, we haven't spoken to the big boss since he was re-elected in a landslide. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is with us now. Good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Wonderful to be back in person. I've brought the rain.

SHAW: Oh yeah, but look, you know I for one am enjoying it. Although Barra's not because his kitchen flooded in the early hours of this morning. What brings you to town this week?

DORINDA COX, SENATOR FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA: Thank you for coming along. I'll make a short statement and then take a few questions.

Today, I'm resigning from the Australian Greens to join the Labor Party to sit as a Labor Senator as part of the Albanese Government.

It is not a decision I've taken lightly. I'd like to acknowledge my former colleagues. I've appreciated the opportunity to work beside them, particularly as the first Aboriginal woman in WA to serve in our national Parliament. But the time has come for me to pursue a new direction.

OLIVER PETERSON, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome back to Perth Live.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, Oly. Good to be back in this beautiful state. And I brought a bit of rain with me yesterday, but it's fined up a bit at the moment.

PETERSON: You did. There was a bit of rain around about an hour ago or so now. It's just as you were holding the Cabinet meeting and maybe there was something across the Nullarbor from New South Wales and Victoria wanting our GST fix.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It’s great to be back in Western Australia for my 35th visit as Prime Minister, my second visit since the election. We are very consciously having a Cabinet meeting here today, precisely one month since we had the honour of being re-elected to govern Australia. And to do so of course, in cooperation with the states and territories. My Government has a terrific relationship with the Cook Labor Government here in WA. Together, we've worked on the Better and Fairer Schools funding agreement.

The Albanese and Minns Governments are delivering more funding to help communities recover from the recent severe flooding across the state.

This will include damage caused by East Coast severe weather and flooding in May and damage caused by Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

This funding will provide direct support for residents, farmers, small businesses and non-profit organisations and includes help for people who have lost their homes.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, it’s great to visit this clinic for the second time in the electorate of Fremantle. It’s one of 87 that we opened during our first term, where we promised 50, but delivered 87. All that people have needed who've attended this clinic is just their Medicare card. Making an enormous difference - getting the care they need, when they need it, and for free as a result of Medicare and our extension.

NAT LOCKE, HOST: Welcome back, for the first time since he was re-elected, the Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. My second trip to WA though since the election. Dropped in here.

LOCKE: I know we're a bit sad that you didn't so come and say hello.

PRIME MINISTER: I know. Sorry about that.

SHAUN MCMANUS, HOST: Were you down at Gage Roads? That was the –

MARK GIBSON, HOST: One month ago today, Anthony Albanese led the Labor Party to a resounding election victory, stamping his authority as a second term Prime Minister and leaving a depleted Liberal Party smoldering in his wake. Today, Mr Albanese has brought his Federal Cabinet to WA. He's picked up a new Senator along the way and he's with me in the ABC studio. Prime Minister, welcome back.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G’day, Mark. I brought the rain.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Firstly, can I thank Troy and Nette and their family, their three daughters for welcoming us onto their property here. A farm that is the fourth generation farm that has been producing benefits not just for their family, most importantly, benefit for the state of South Australia and for the entire nation. Our farmers are indispensable. Our farmers produce food, they produce wealth for our country, but at the moment they're doing it tough.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It is wonderful to be back here in Tasmania today, my first visit after the election held less than one month ago. And I do want to thank Tasmanians for the support that we received. But it is a critical day for Tasmania, it’s one in which people will remember that they got the opportunity to walk across this magnificent piece of infrastructure.
