Along with all Australians, I was shocked by the terrible scenes at former President Trump’s campaign event in Pennsylvania.

I’m relieved by the news that the former President is safe and doing fine, and I wish him and his family well.

I applaud the swift work of US security agencies.

I am also saddened by reports that a member of the audience has lost their life, and others attendees have been injured.

I send my condolences to their loved ones in this time of grief.

Let us be clear.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, along with the Governor-General Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC, will welcome Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla to Australia in October this year.

This will be The King’s first visit to Australia as Sovereign.

The King shares a long history with and affection for Australia, having previously made 15 official visits to our nation and having visited every state and territory.

During this visit, The King and Queen will travel to the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, good morning. It's fantastic to be here in Brisbane’s beautiful botanical gardens to announce Madonna Jarrett as our candidate for the federal election for Brisbane.

CROWD MEMBER: Go Madonna

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks for joining me. Along with all Australians, I was shocked by the terrible scenes at former President Trump's campaign event in Pennsylvania. I'm relieved by the news that the former president is safe and doing fine, and I wish him and his family well. I applaud the swift work of US security agencies. I'm also saddened by reports that a member of the audience has lost their life and other attendees have been injured. And I send my condolences on behalf of Australia to their loved ones in this time of grief.

Australia is the greatest country on Earth.

In the decisive decade stretching ahead of us, we have what it takes to make Australia even greater still: stronger, fairer and more prosperous. We can achieve this by working to shape the future, not waiting for the future to shape us. Standing our own two feet, secure in the world and safe at home. Shaping that better future requires strategy, purpose, and values.

HOST: Albo is in the studio. Good morning mate.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Great to be back in Brisbane.

HOST: You have got a little bit of a cold. That's not why I'm sitting all the way over here. I think it was just the cameras. But is that why you missed the game last night? Couldn't go and support your Rabbitohs?

PRIME MINISTER: Yeah well, I was tucked up watching it in the hotel. It was a great game. Six tries a piece.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks for joining us. And I'm joined today by Senator Chisholm and Senator Watt, two great Queenslanders who represent this great state of Queensland each and every day. But importantly, today I'm here joined by Ali France, who's agreed to be the Labor candidate for Dickson once again. If you look at the last election, Ali achieved a swing of almost 3 per cent in this seat. This seat now has a margin of under 2 per cent.

LAUREL EDWARDS, HOST: The Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. Good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Great to be with you and great to be back in Brisbane on what an absolutely stunning day here.

EDWARDS: Yeah, it is absolutely gorgeous. We can't go any more into the interview without talking about the breaking news this morning, Prime Minister. US President Biden has made a huge blunder at the press conference at the NATO Summit when introducing Ukraine President Zelenskyy.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Can I give a shout out to Judith, who's had her 80th birthday today and came down to say, g'day. Proof that there is a random South Sydney person everywhere, is the fact that I can come to a TAFE here at Loganlea and find a random Souths supporter. So, happy birthday to Judith. But we're here today to announce our candidate for Forde. Rowan Holzberger is someone I've known for a long period of time.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It's great to be back in Queensland, and to be here to announce that Rebecca Hack will be our candidate for the electorate of Ryan, which we're in, which will be a three way contest at the next election. This week, many workers in this electorate, like workers right across the country, will be getting their pay packets. And what they'll notice is that the pay packets are bigger, there's more money in their pockets, because we've delivered tax cuts for all 13.6 million taxpayers.
