JACINTA ALLAN, PREMIER OF VICTORIA: Well, good morning. It's an absolute joy to be here this morning at the opening of the Kennedy Community Centre, and to be joined once again, by the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, who we have that shared passion and commitment for infrastructure, not necessarily the Hawthorne Football Club, I will confess, but definitely for infrastructure. And it's always great to have the Prime Minister backing the projects that the Victorian and Melbourne community need for our future.

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

I’d like to acknowledge the Senators and Members of Parliament who have joined us.

As well as members of the diplomatic corps, the RMIT leadership and business leaders.

I’d also like to acknowledge my friend, Dr Craig Emerson.

Craig’s professional life has been linked with APEC and its mission for a long time.

VOICEOVER: Welcome to the show Prime Minister and karaoke superstar Anthony Albanese.

LAUREN PHILLIPS, HOST: Albo.

CLINT STANAWAY, HOST: Hello.

PHILLIPS: Good morning. Now, the last time I saw you, you were singing with Delta Goodrem at Street Side Medic’s Ball.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: As you do. A duet. That's the first time I've heard that audio.

PHILLIPS: Oh, it's - have you got it there again, Jase? It was so good.

Can I thank Mick for the Welcome to Country and I also acknowledge the traditional owners and land and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

To all the distinguished guests who are here today as well.

In February 2024, we were just out there, there was a pile of earth, breaking ground on this new facility.

I said to the Premier of Victoria, whoever's in charge here of getting this infrastructure done, we need to get them in charge of a few of our programs around the country, because this is an extraordinary achievement on time and on budget.

Dingley Village in Melbourne’s south-east is home to new, world-class sporting facilities with the opening of the Kennedy Community Centre.

Opened today, the first stage of the sporting complex includes elite facilities for south-east Melbourne’s AFLW athletes and aspiring girls and boys participating in pathway football programs.

The complex also includes the Harris High Performance Centre, which has a fully flood-lit oval, an indoor training field, aquatic facilities and unisex change rooms.

JACINTA ALLAN, PREMIER OF VICTORIA: It's exciting this morning to be here at our beautiful State Library Station. And I'm joined by Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese and a number of our very proud Federal and State Labor colleagues. I have my state ministerial colleagues, Gabrielle Williams, who, of course, is the Minister responsible for the delivery of the Metro Tunnel project, Harriet Shing, Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, strong, proud local members of Parliament in Sheena Watt, Sarah Connolly, Natalie Suleyman. And I've done that.

HAMISH MACDONALD, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese is here. Good morning, PM.

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

MACDONALD: The Opposition says it wants to fight you on power prices. Are you ready for that fight?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Yesterday I hosted the President of Indonesia, my friend President Prabowo, and we announced a historic agreement that will help make Australia and our region stronger, more secure and more peaceful.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA: Today, I am standing alongside my friend, Indonesian President Bapak Prabowo Subianto, to make what is a historic announcement. The governments of Australia and Indonesia have just substantively concluded negotiations on a new bilateral treaty on our common security. Australia's relationship with Indonesia is based on friendship, trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to peace and stability in our region.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will welcome the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, to Australia for an official program on 12 November 2025.

This will be President Prabowo’s first visit to Australia since taking office. President Prabowo most recently visited Australia as Minister of Defence and President‑elect in August 2024.

Prime Minister Albanese met President Prabowo in Jakarta in May this year for the Australia–Indonesia Annual Leaders’ Meeting during the Prime Minister’s first overseas trip following his re‑election.
