The $164 million upgrade of the Jervis Bay Road intersection is one step closer to completion, with the new flyover bridge set to open to traffic from Monday, 1 June.

Motorists travelling southbound will be the first to use the new bridge, with motorists travelling northbound to follow shortly afterwards.

The full project was originally forecast to open to traffic in late 2027, but thanks to the efforts of 110 workers who have contributed a combined 472,000 hours, it is now set to open almost a year ahead of schedule, in early 2027.

The St George Illawarra Dragons Community and High Performance Centre is now open, thanks to joint funding between the federal and state governments and the St George Illawarra Dragons.

The new $65 million centre in Wollongong brings elite training, community programs and new opportunities for women and girls under one roof.

RYAN FITZGERALD, HOST: Well, it's nearly been four years, almost to the day that our Prime Minister has been government and we're lucky enough to have him today. Anthony Albanese, welcome to the show, buddy.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you. This time four years ago, I was preparing in the afternoon handing out in my electorate, waiting for what became a very big night.

MICHAEL WIPFLI, HOST: Well, it did, didn't it? My God.

HOST: Right now, we've got the Prime Minister on the phone. G’day Albo.

HOST: Albo!

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day. How you going?

HOST: Good mate. Now, I don't know if you've been prepped for this, but on the release of the, of the Budget. Was it last week? I think it was the Budget last week, but Corey Oates, our own football expert, was able to decipher the budget and put it into footy parlances. So, please enjoy Corey's take on the Budget.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Kumanjayi Little Baby was just five years old and should have had her whole life ahead of her. This wonderful young soul, who I got to speak to her mum, her grandfather, and her grandmother today. She was cherished and loved and they're going through the worst of devastation, and at this time they've asked that they be allowed to go through the Sorry Business with the privacy and dignity and solemnity that it deserves.

MARK GIBSON, HOST: Anthony Albanese, good morning.

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

GIBSON: How's it gone? If it's a budget roadshow trying to sell the budget, fair to say there's been a very mixed reaction.

PATRICK GORMAN, ASSISTANT MINISTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER: It is wonderful to have the Prime Minister here in the electorate of Perth in the great state of Western Australia, and to be accompanied by Premier Roger Cook. We delivered our Budget one week ago, and one of the big focuses of that budget was housing, making sure more Australians have a place to call home. But it wasn't the first time our budgets focused on housing. This here on Pier Street is proof of our investment in housing.

HOST: Joel Creasy's with us –

HOST: That doesn't matter. The Prime Minister's here.

HOST: – and so is the Prime Minister. Albo, welcome back.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Great to be back in Perth.

HOST: I saw you on Saturday night, Albo. We were at the same function, and you spoke wonderfully, but we didn't get a chance to see each other. Maybe you were avoiding me. I'm not sure. You were with a much cooler table up the front.

After discussions between Australia and China, including between the Prime Minister and China’s Premier Li, the Albanese Labor Government has helped to secure three shipments of jet fuel, totaling more than 600,000 barrels or about 100 million litres.

The Government has also helped to secure another 38,500 tonnes of agricultural grade urea from Brunei, for Australian farmers, producers, and our agriculture industry, to keep Australia’s food and fiber production systems strong.

OLY PETERSON, HOST: Joining me in the studios this afternoon is the Prime Minister. Welcome back to Drive.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Great to be back in Perth.

PETERSON: It's been a harder budget sell than you probably anticipated, Anthony Albanese.
