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

DAVID PENBERTHY, HOST: Thanks for joining us, PM, we had an absolutely chock-a-block board yesterday of calls and texts off the back of the Budget that you announced on Tuesday. It's fair to say our listeners were overwhelmingly underwhelmed by the prospect of a $5 a week tax cut.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, Nat. And I agree with you, that does look like a very good show. I've been listening to all of that. It looks like a cracker.

Television interview - Today Show

SARAH ABO, HOST: Well, it's the surprise of this year's Federal Budget. A tax cut for 12 million Australians. While it's worth just five bucks a week, it's a clear pitch to voters as the Government sets the stage to call a federal election. To discuss this, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joins us live now from Parliament House in Canberra. Good morning to you Prime Minister. What a sales pitch, huh? You've been accused of bribing Australians with this tax cut, are you?

Television interview - ABC News Breakfast

JAMES GLENDAY, HOST: Joining us now from Parliament House is none other than the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Prime Minister, welcome back to News Breakfast and happy Budget Week.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, James. One advantage that we have here in having a March Budget is that it's a little bit warmer than it usually is in May. So, I think it's not a bad idea to maybe continue this.
