Address to the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce

Well, thanks so much, John, for that introduction, of which I think two things sprung to mind.

One is I now know why I'm so tired.

And secondly, I think I'll take you around the country to introduce me every time I speak, because that was very, very generous.

I do want to also acknowledge here my Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, who is doing an extraordinary job.

I want to acknowledge a former Deputy Prime Minister, we're in the former Deputy Prime Minister's club, Mark Vaile and former Speaker Tony Smith.

Question and answers - Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce

LEON KEMPLER AM, CHAIR OF THE AUSTRALIA ISRAEL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: The Prime Minister has agreed to take questions from the floor, which is a great honour for us. And we're going to now move on to a more pedestrian but very important area, and that's about housing affordability. And the question is, it's about supply and demand, and when there's a lack of supply, the price just goes up. We need to build, build and build more housing. In Victoria we get 150,000 new people coming to Victoria, probably need 50,000 more accommodation.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, it's fantastic to be here at Heffron Park, these amazing facilities that will be a centre of excellence for South Sydney Rugby League Football Club, but also will be a centre for Souths Cares, the charity that takes care of Indigenous young Australians, particularly from regional areas of New South Wales and Queensland. This is also a great centre for the community.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, these are fantastic facilities for the Sydney Swans here at Moore Park. An important facility not just to assist with the future success of the Swans, both their men's and women's teams, but also an important community facility, where community activity will occur. Everything from the Red Cross, to basketball, to charity events, including of course, the Clontarf Foundation that's so important for giving Indigenous young people those educational opportunities to succeed in life.
