Harry Clarke, Host: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, it must be a privilege to honour some some legends of Far North Queensland with the Australian Icons awards.

Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister: Absolutely fantastic. All these people, everyone, from the Catholic Priest, the fine Mr Brophy, has been running the fights in places when rodeos happen. I've met him before at the Birdsville Races. To other local heroes as well, it's just fantastic and a great honour to be here to celebrate Mt Isa's 100 years.

Pinky, Host: Now my sidekick Anthony is on holidays at the moment so I’ve found another Anthony to fill in. It's the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, good morning.

Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister: G’day Pinky, I hope I'm a pretty reasonable fill in.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will travel to the United States from 23 to 26 October for an official visit hosted by President Joseph R Biden Jr in Washington DC.

The Australia-United States relationship is unique in scale, scope and significance, reflecting more than 100 years of partnership between our nations. This visit will be an opportunity for the Prime Minister and President to strengthen this important relationship and look ahead to the future.

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

I am proud to lead a Government that will give every Australian the opportunity to vote for Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, in our founding document, in a referendum later this year.

I welcome Therese and Jess and Marcus and all the members of the Rudd family who are with us today.

KRISTY READING, HOST: Good morning, Prime Minister, and thanks for your time today.

PRIME MINISTER, ANTHONY ALBANESE: Good morning, Christy. Good to have the opportunity to talk with you.

READING: I realise you're heading to a flight now, so we really appreciate you giving us some time before you jump on board this morning. But look, you're coming to town this morning as part of this, you're revealing a $38 million drought relief package at the Bush Summit. Tell us about this. What does it include?

MONTE IRVINE, HOST: I have Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese on the line. Good morning, Prime Minister, how are you this morning?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Monte. I'm very well, very much looking forward to visiting Tamworth this morning.

HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony 'Albo' Albanese, is on the line. Now Prime Minister how were you watching it? Where did you watch it?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I watched it here at the Lodge in Canberra. It was just so good. The Danes started so well. And they were really on the attack but amazing kicked by Fowler to set up Foord, and then she just put it away. It was magnificent. And then the second goal was just as good. It was just an awesome performance by the Matildas.

National Cabinet will next meet in Brisbane on 16 August 2023.

The key priority for the meeting is to discuss progress on housing and planning reforms, including proposals to increase housing supply and affordability.

Consistent with National Cabinet’s 2023 priorities, First Ministers will also discuss health reform ahead of a dedicated health meeting planned for later in 2023.

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 am proud to lead a Government that will give every Australian the opportunity to vote for constitutional recognition through a Voice, in a referendum later this year.

To all our distinguished Western Australian guests, welcome to Parliament House.

Before the last election, I made a commitment to visit Western Australia 10 times in my first year in office.

JOHN PAUL JANKE, HOST: What was going through your head when you heard these words?
