I am so delighted to be here with you

Fifty years of anything is a significant event. To be able to sustain a hospitality business half a century – to come through all those changes and not simply survive but to be actually thriving – that is something absolutely worth marking in style.

We’ve joined together tonight to celebrate half a century of Navarra – a great Australian business that proudly wears the name of an extraordinary family.

For decade after decade, you’ve been the magic ingredient in some of the most special moments in so many lives.

ALI MOORE, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, welcome to ABC Radio Melbourne Drive.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon. Wonderful to be talking with you and I hope you're enjoying Frankston.

MOORE: Well, it'd probably be better if you were down here, perhaps. But you have been in this electorate, I understand, a bit. How are you feeling about the 2nd of March?

SARAH MACDONALD, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese is in the studio, after meeting Debbie Harry online. Good morning, Prime Minister.

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

MACDONALD: Look, people are suggesting she could play at your wedding.

PRIME MINISTER: Well she’d be pretty good, wouldn't she?

MACDONALD: Any plans yet?

MICHAEL WIPFLI, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, welcome! Recently engaged to the beautiful Jodie.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Yeah, thanks very much for the warm welcome. I've got to say, though, there's no champagne here, just to be clear, it's got a bit of a, given recent incidents with pot plants, we're not drinking at this time of the morning.

KATE RITCHIE, HOST: No. And you can celebrate without champagne, am I right?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks everyone for joining us and thanks for the very warm welcome, I've got to say, that we've had here in Western Australia over the last three days. It’s been a very good visit. And at the Cabinet meeting yesterday, we heard from Premier Cook about issues facing Western Australia.

LOUISE PRATT, LABOR SENATOR FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA: I want to acknowledge that we are here on Noongar country. I'm announcing today that I'll be making way for a new Senator to come forward to represent both WA and WA Labor at the next election. I informed the Prime Minister of my intention a couple of weeks ago. And it's a great honour that you're able to join me here today to make this public. My Senate term, of course, doesn't end until the middle of 2025.

ALLAN ALDWORTH, HOST:  And right now, we have the Prime Minister of the country in the studio. Anthony Albanese, good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Great to be here with a bit of Blur as the intro.

CURULLI: We know it's one of your favourites.

CURULLI: Are you all right?
