I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and I pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging.

I’m delighted to join you in officially welcoming His All-Holiness to Australia.

This is a historic occasion — and a great honour for our nation.

His All-Holiness’s last visit to Australia 28 years ago is remembered by Australia’s Greek Orthodox community with great warmth and appreciation.

It was the first-ever visit by an Ecumenical Patriarch to Australia.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, look it's fantastic to be back here in Cabramatta and for what is an exciting day. This is day one of returning this seat to the Labor Party and to having Tu Le as a representative for this fantastic community in my Labor Government. Tu Le will be a very strong voice for this local community. She lives here in Mount Pritchard. She is someone who is the daughter of Vietnamese refugees. I've met her parents and her family, and they have lived in this community for a long period of time.

MATT ACTON, HOST: Albo is on the air. Good morning, Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. I thought I was gonna miss out on my intro song.

ACTON: Never.

COLEMAN: Never. We’re consistent. And plus, we haven't updated it, so it'll always be there.

ACTON: You can't beat perfection, can you, Albo?

PRIME MINISTER: Exactly. Oh, we could beat it if you guys sang the song yourself.

ACTON: Ah, well, Stav does sing.

HOST: As we said it right at the top of the program today, we know there's some very serious events in the world on the news front but today, we have the Prime Minister of Australia on in the context of rugby league and we hope you appreciate that. There is the PM's XIII game coming up October 13. Brad Fittler, is he having input into it? Well, let us find out from the man himself. Busy schedule, but he's been good enough to join us on Breakfast with Vossy and Brandy again this morning. Prime Minister, welcome. How are you?

The Albanese Government is taking action to fight shrinkflation in our supermarkets and retail sector by strengthening the Unit Pricing Code to make it easier for Australians to make accurate and timely price comparisons.

The Government will also introduce substantial penalties for supermarkets who do the wrong thing and breach the Unit Pricing Code.

The practice of 'shrinkflation' is becoming increasingly common, where the size of a product is reduced, but the price at the supermarket is the same or even increases, taking advantage of Australians doing their groceries.

BILL SHORTEN, MINISTER FOR THE NDIS AND GOVERNMENT SERVICES: Well, welcome to the electorate of Maribyrnong, the heart of it, Moonee Ponds. It's my great pleasure to welcome our Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, and Labor's next Member for Maribyrnong, we hope, Jo Briskey. We've been here at a fantastic Goodstart Learning Centre, talking to the workforce about Labor's great policies to make sure that our early childhood educators get long overdue recognition, which indeed is one of Ms. Briskey's many achievements.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will welcome His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to Australia in October 2024.

This year marks 100 years since the establishment of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia.

His All-Holiness will spend two weeks in Australia, meeting with Greek Australian and diaspora communities, Orthodox parishioners, political and interfaith leaders, and community groups.

Prime Minister Albanese will host His All-Holiness as a Guest of Government on 5 and 13 October.

RAF EPSTEIN, HOST: We all woke up to news of Iran lobbing missiles at Israel, and Israel's army has moved into Lebanon. That is just the last 24 hours. There is a potential flashpoint right here in Melbourne this weekend. October 7 is Monday, one year since the Hamas attacks and almost a year since Israel went into Gaza. The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, is in Melbourne. Thanks for coming in.

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

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It's been great to be able to catch up with Katie, Xavier and Nat and their children and to have an opportunity to talk about the impact that people are talking about around the suburbs and towns the whole way around Australia, which is how shoppers and consumers should get a fair deal. That's why we're cracking down on supermarkets, because supermarkets haven't been doing the right thing.

Today the Albanese Labor Government is taking decisive action to help consumers get fairer prices at the supermarket checkout, in stores and online.

Misconduct in the supermarket and retail sector is unfair, unacceptable and makes cost-of-living pressures worse for Australians.

We don’t want to see ordinary Australians, families and pensioners being taken for a ride by the supermarkets, and we’re taking steps to make sure they get a fair go at the checkout.
