BRIDGET BRENNAN, HOST: Good morning to you, Prime Minister. It's been a while since we've had you on the show.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, good to be with you.
BRENNAN: Perhaps a commitment, a weekly commitment to join us on News Breakfast might be in order.
PRIME MINISTER: Well, you know, why haven't you made the offer beforehand?
NAT BARR, HOST: And the Prime Minister joins us live in Canberra now. Good morning to you. Are you just kind of kicking yourself for not getting on that plane to Washington to meet Trump earlier?
SARAH ABO, HOST: Well, the Prime Minister is hoping the new financial year will deliver a long awaited face-to-face meeting with Donald Trump. And there's plenty to discuss with the US President.
KARL STEFANOVIC, HOST: Let's get into it. Anthony Albanese joins us now live from Canberra. PM, good morning to you. Nice to see you. Look, every Quad leader has met him. It's all gotten a little bit embarrassing, hasn't it? Pretty simple question. When are you going to meet the Donald?
AMELIA BRACE, HOST: Anthony Albanese joins us now from Canberra. Prime Minister, thank you so much for being here for our very first show.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good evening.
BRACE: Regarding the cost of living relief tomorrow, there will be a few extra dollars in our pockets, but it's not a whole lot of cash. Is this you weaning the Australian people off these payments and rebates?
ALICIA PAYNE, MEMBER FOR CANBERRA: Good morning everyone. I'm Alicia Payne, the Member for Canberra, and it's my great pleasure this morning to be here with the Prime Minister, Minister Gallagher, Minister Giles, ACT Deputy Chief Minister Yvette Berry and Minister Pettersson here at CIT Bruce to meet with TAFE students and apprentices and hear about what our new incentive kicking off tomorrow will mean for them.
ZHI SOON, MEMBER FOR BANKS: Good morning, everyone. It is an absolute pleasure to be here in East Hills. Firstly, I'd like to recognise that we are on the land of the Bidjigal people and acknowledge their continual custodianship of the land, waterways in this area for generations. I also wanted to say a particular thanks to Julia, Stefan and little Artie for welcoming us to their home here in East Hills. And we're here to talk about a very exciting topic, that's very close to my heart with a young little girl called Dorothy, who's seven months old.
JESS TEESDALE, MEMBER FOR BASS: Good morning everyone. It’s an absolute pleasure today to welcome Prime Minister Anthony Albanese here at the Discovery Early Learning Child Care Centre. We also have Labor Leader Dean Winter and Sarah Lovell, somewhere in the back. It is such a pleasure this morning to be here. We've had a chat with some of the kids. We've had a chat with the child care educators who are here, and we can see the incredible work that is happening every single day and every moment in these centres.
KIERAN GILBERT, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks for your time.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you, Kieran.
GILBERT: The ceasefire we've seen, is this a vindication of the Trump approach of peace through strength?
PRIME MINISTER: Well, what we want to see is the ceasefire announced by President Trump implemented. We think that we do want to see dialogue and diplomacy replace any escalation. And President Trump's announcement, we very much welcome.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. The world has long agreed that Iran cannot be allowed to get a nuclear weapon. And we support action to prevent that. That is what this is. The US action was directed at specific sites central to Iran's nuclear program. We don't want escalation and a full-scale war. We continue to call for dialogue and for diplomacy. As I've said for many days now, we are deeply concerned about any escalation in the region and we want to see diplomacy, dialogue and de-escalation.
