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'm delighted to be in Port Lincoln and very grateful to everyone who has made me so welcome here today.

You live in a special part of Australia, the tens of thousands of tourists you attract each year speak for the beauty of this place and I'm sure the quality of the seafood.

Your community isn't just a magnet for visitors, it's also an engine of our national prosperity.

JULES SCHILLER, HOST: I'm joined now by the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Welcome, Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon. Greetings from beautiful Port Lincoln.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I have been here before many a time, particularly as Minister, I, as the Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Minister. We funded refurbishment of the Royal Flying Doctor Service here. We funded also some heritage buildings and upgrades. There was an arts precinct here as well that we funded, as well as some roads around the district. And prior to that, I was the Water Shadow Minister, at a time where the Menindee lakes didn't look like what they do now as well.

DAVID PENBERTHY, HOST: Prime Minister, good morning to you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, and Port Lincoln is absolutely stunning this morning.

PENBERTHY: What brings you to Port Lincoln, PM?

KARL STEFANOVIC, HOST: Let's bring in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, live now in Canberra. PM, good morning to you. It's been a dark, dark 48 hours, hasn't it?

MICHAEL ROWLAND, HOST: PM, good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Michael.

ROWLAND: Overnight, we've seen the death toll rise in that Hamas-Israel conflict. Some truly horrific scenes on the streets of cities in southern Israel. Israel vowing a deadly response. Are you worried we're about to see this conflict escalate to truly unthinkable levels?

DANICA DE GIORGIO, HOST: Prime Minister, appreciate your time this morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning.

DE GIORGIO: The US has offered military assistance without Israel even asking for it. Are we going to give the same support?

I've spent a lot of time in Queensland and I've learned over the years that whether you're building a new bridge, upgrading a road or investing in new medical services, the best way for Government to deliver for local communities is to always start by listening to the locals.

When you listen, you get better results.

You also save money because you build what's actually needed and you invest in what really works.

That's what the referendum on October 14 is about: recognition and listening, so we get better results.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I've just had the great privilege of voting in my first referendum this century. That is a reminder that these opportunities do not come around every day. This is an opportunity to make history. A once in a generation chance to recognise our first Australians in our nation's founding document. And to do so, in the way in which we have been requested by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people themselves.

Allen Madden, Gadigal Elder: Good morning my name is Allen Madden, Gadigal elder. For my first song. Welcome to country to me is always an honour and a pleasure. Just to give you a little bit of an insight into where you are and who we are. Prime Minister, Ministers, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to beautiful downtown Redfern, the capital of Sydney.
