JOHN LAWS, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has done a lot of travelling again recently, although at the moment he's very much about domestic politics. With the Federal Parliament sitting, of course, it's very domestic and very important. But I'm happy to say that our Prime Minister is on the line. Prime Minister, good morning and welcome.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Morning, John. Good to have you back on air.

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

I note from Louise's comments that great art makes you feel full of possibilities. We're going to give Australians a possibility to change the country for the better in the last quarter by voting Yes in the referendum that will be coming up.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: John Olsen deserved a wonderful send off and he received that today at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. John Olsen's passing leaves a space, but he has filled it with light and colour, as bright as that twinkle that he had in his eye. He imagined a landscape and showed it for all Australians, but indeed, to showcase it to the world. And his legacy will live on.

I spoke to Mark McGowan earlier today to congratulate him on his retirement and all he has achieved through his time in public life. Mark leaves office as he led, on his own terms and as his own man. He has been a great Premier of his proud state, an extraordinary leader for WA Labor and a trusted friend. Above all, Mark will be remembered for seeing the people of Western Australian safely through one of the most challenging crises in our nation's history. In unprecedented times, Mark always held to his convictions and always sought to do the right thing by his state.

OLIVER PETERSON, HOST: Joining me now live from Adelaide is the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good afternoon.

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

PETERSON: Were you surprised to hear that Mark McGowan is quitting as Premier of Western Australia?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA: Prime Minister, I'm absolutely delighted to welcome you here, formally now, to Australia. Of course, you got a welcome from about 20,000 people last night that was extraordinarily warm and the energy and affection in the room was obvious to all who were there, and all who witnessed it. Can I say that following the discussions in Tokyo with Quad leaders, when we first met a year ago, it seems like it has gone very quickly. So this is our sixth meeting now in just my first year of my prime ministership.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA: I am absolutely delighted to welcome Prime Minister Modi here to Australia.

I am pleased to meet Prime Minister Modi so soon after our productive meeting in Hiroshima for the 2023 Quad Leaders’ Summit.

Quad Leaders stand together for an open, stable, secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific region; a region where sovereignty is respected, and all countries large and small benefit from a regional balance that keeps the peace.

CHRIS O'KEEFE, HOST: I'm joined by our Prime Minister. Anthony Albanese. G'day, Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, how are you going? What a fantastic day it will be. We had a very productive meeting this morning and people would have seen some footage, perhaps, of last night's rather extraordinary event there at Homebush, where Prime Minister Modi received such a warm welcome from Australians of Indian origin.

AMANDA KELLER, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, hello.

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

BRENDAN JONES, HOST: Great to talk to you again. But that's kind of a big deal, isn't it?

DAVE HUGHES, HOST: Has a war broken out between Erin Molan and the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese?

ED KAVALEE, HOST: Who joins us on the line from Canberra, good morning, Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Still in Sydney on the way to the airport.
