JOHN LAWS, HOST: Well, the Prime Minister yesterday announced the Future Made in Australia Act, which, according to the Prime Minister, will be a package of new and exciting initiatives to boost investment, create jobs and seize opportunities and make the most of them. A lot of people are asking how Australia can possibly compete with countries like China, not a bad question, I mean - where the cost of manufacturing is considerably lower. Anyway, there's also concern that the plan could result in a call of business that is reliant on government subsidies.

I begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet, and I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

It is a special honour to join with you all here at the Anzac Memorial. For very nearly 90 years this has been the scene for many acts of memory, both powerful and poignant.

Today, with James Blundell’s new song Almost Anzac Day, we are adding one more. And what a fitting time to launch it.

In a fortnight, we will gather in the darkness before dawn because those first Anzacs did.

AARON STEVENS, HOST: Anthony Albanese, hello.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Aaron.

STEVENS: Thank you for your time again from. From sunny Central Queensland, it's beautiful outside.

PRIME MINISTER: It's always beautiful up there. So, I'm looking forward to coming up during Beef Week, having another visit to Rocky. It's always a good occasion. And there's no bigger occasion, of course, than Beef Week.

SARAH FERGUSON, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome to be program.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be back on the program.

FERGUSON: Now, the International Monetary Fund warns that the history of government subsidies to industry is littered with failures. That's the word they use. How do you convince Australians that your Government and its agencies have the discipline and the rigour to get it wrong?

OLIVER PETERSON, HOST: Earlier, the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, outlined the Future Made in Australia plan in Brisbane, a keynote address and new legislation he wants to bring before the federal parliament. I am pleased to say the Prime Minister joins me live on 6PR today. Anthony Albanese, good afternoon.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, Ollie. Very good to be with you.

LYDIA LYNCH, HOST: Have you done any modelling on the amount of jobs that can be created under your future made in Australia plan?

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

I want to acknowledge all my colleagues who are here today.

I’m delighted to be back at the Queensland Media Club to talk about our Government’s vision for a future made in Australia.

I wanted to give this speech here in Queensland because you have such a pivotal role to play in realising that vision and building that future.

KIERAN GILBERT, HOST: Prime Minister, thank you for your time. In broad terms, do you see this plan, the future made in Australia, is this your plan to underpin what you hope is a second term agenda?

When I visited Eugowra in late 2022, the town had been devastated by floodwaters.

Roads and bridges had been destroyed, homes had literally been moved hundreds of metres from where they had been built.

I met people who’d been rescued by helicopter and by boat and heard the tragic stories of others who had lost their lives.

When I was in Eugowra a few weeks ago, you could still see signs of the damage that had been done, as well as the rebuilding work underway. Above all, you could sense the spirit of a community determined to bounce back.

MURRAY JONES, HOST: You might remember in the last week or so, Sky News, one of their personalities, and looking at Sky News in general, always on attack against the Prime Minister and the government. But in the last week or so, Graham Richardson, I think it was, was a guest on Sky and he commented that the PM is still doing pretty well in the polls, mainly because he's such a likeable character. I was very surprised to hear that from Sky News and they actually put it to air.
