MATTHEW PANTELIS, HOST: We'll just go firstly to the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, who is in Adelaide today and apparently making his way out to the northern suburbs. Prime Minister, good morning.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Matthew. Good to be with you, and it's great to be here in Adelaide on this rather beautiful day.
PANTELIS: What brings you to Adelaide?
DAVID BEVAN, HOST: Good morning, Prime Minister.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, I landed early. So there must be good winds.
BEVAN: Excellent. Now do you bring gifts to Adelaide? Because we've just been speaking to our, our Premier, and he said, 'Well, I won't be able to meet with the Prime Minister today. But he knows I need more money for primary healthcare, as does every other Premier in the state.' Or, indeed, are you here for another reason, Prime Minister?
ANDREW COHEN, CEO OF FORHEALTH: Welcome everybody, my name is Andrew Cohen, I'm the CEO of ForHealth, which is the second largest general practice provider in the country. I'm standing with Dr. Carolyn Rosa, who's the Medical Director here at Elizabeth. Before I introduce our guests I just want to talk about the impact that the recent budget has had for an area like this.
ROB MITCHELL, MEMBER FOR MCEWEN: Well, I'd like to welcome everyone here today as we stand on the lands of the Wurundjuri Woi-wurrung people and acknowledge our elders past, present, emerging and remind ourselves that it was, is, and always, always will be Aboriginal land. And this year we have an exciting opportunity to bring this country together through a Voice and through recognition in the Constitution. Last week we set down a Budget in Canberra.
RAF EPSTEIN. HOST: Anthony Albanese is the Prime Minister of Australia. Prime Minister, thank you for coming in.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day Raf. Good to be here.
EPSTEIN: It's great to have you here.
PRIME MINISTER: A beautiful day in Melbourne.
EPSTEIN: It has been. It's Melbourne, so we'll give you some bad weather tomorrow. Peter Dutton is very concerned about housing and immigration, we are adding people faster than we’re adding houses.
DAVID KOCH, HOST: Joining me now, Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good morning to you.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Kochie.
KOCH: Hey, first Labor surplus since Paul Keating, way back in 1989. You’re really blessed with those commodity prices being so high and all of Australia paying more in income tax.
PATRICIA KARVELAS, HOST: The Federal Budget is just as much a political document as it is economic. The Greens say the $4 billion dollar surplus is political, while the Opposition says the win isn't Labor's to claim. But the key question is whether the Government's second Budget will quell or stimulate inflation and whether it does enough to help the most vulnerable. Anthony Albanese is the Prime Minister and he joined me a short time ago.
Prime Minister, welcome.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you, Patricia.
NARELDA JACOBS, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks for joining us on Midday. Now despite increases to welfare, JobSeeker is still regarded as a poverty payment. For a million Australians who are in line for a boost of $2.85 a day, how do you expect them to put a third meal on the table?
Yunupingu walked in two worlds with authority, power and grace, and he worked to make them whole — together.
What he could see was not the reinvention of Australia, but the realisation of a greater one.
With his passing, consider what we have lost.
A leader. A statesman.
A painter. A dancer. A singer and musician who always carried his father’s clapsticks and felt the power they carried within them.

ANNA HENDERSON, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks for joining SBS.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you.
HENDERSON: What would the young boy from Marrickville with a single mum think about a $3 a day increase for people living in poverty?
