SONYA FELDHOFF, HOST: Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese joins us now. Good morning, Prime Minister.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Thanks for rubbing in how beautiful it is there in Adelaide. I'm speaking from, I assure you that Canberra is not that sort of temperature overnight.
LOUISE MILLER-FROST, MEMBER FOR BOOTHBY: Hi everyone, my name is Louise Miller-Frost, I'm the member for Boothby, and it's my absolute honour to be here today to welcome the Prime Minister. Of course, we have also the Premier, Tom Koutsantonis - the Minister for Infrastructure, and my friends Jayne Stinson with baby Quinn and Nadia Clancy, who are also local members. And my federal colleague, somewhere, Steve Georganas. This is a really exciting project for South Australia.
The final stage of a long-awaited seamless North South Corridor has reached a major milestone, with a preferred alliance partner being selected for the nation-shaping project.
The project will be completed by deadline, but it’s likely South Australians will be able to enjoy the full benefits of the River Torrens to Darlington Project (T2D Project) even sooner than expected – with three Tunnel Boring Machines to be operating at the same time, instead of the expected two.
