CHRIS DITTMAR, HOST: Prime Minister, a very Triple M welcome to you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: What a wonderful welcome. Thank you so much guys.

DITTMAR: Now, a big twenty four hours in the future and the history of the city of Whyalla and the state of South Australia. 4000 jobs saved. Creditors will be paid. From what we can see a figure of $2 billion from the federal government. How have you arrived at that figure? Why is it so big?

WILL GOODINGS, HOST: Prime Minister, good morning to you.

PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. It's wonderful to be in Adelaide and looking forward to heading up to Whyalla very soon.

DAVID PENBERTHY, HOST: So, you'll be up there this morning, PM. You probably don't want to steal your own thunder, but you clearly arrive bearing gifts. Are you in a position to talk, in a broad sense about what it is the Feds have got in mind?

CLANCY OVERELL, HOST: Welcome back to Betoota Talks. We are again keeping up the momentum with our pre-election interview series. You are joined by myself, Clancy Overell, and the eternal cadet Wendell Hussey. Today's guest is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Thank you for joining us now.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be here.

OVERELL: Now, a lot has changed since the first time we met, Mr Albanese. It 2015 – early 2015, I think you were Infrastructure and Cities Shadow Minister?

LEON COMPTON, HOST: The Prime Minister of Australia – off the back of an interest rate cut and an announcement on the weekend that no jobs will be lost in the salmon industry in Macquarie Harbour. A lot of you wondering what that'll mean for the review of the industry there being done by Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, good morning to you.

PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Good to be with you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I want to thank James and Lou and young Rommie for welcoming me into their home this morning here in Dulwich Hill in my electorate of Grayndler. They bought here in 2021 so yesterday is the first time that they've seen a rate cut, and that will make an enormous difference to them. They get some relief by the fact that interest rates are now going down.

RAF EPSTEIN, HOST: We're joined by the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. Good morning.

AMANDA KELLER, HOST: We've had a busy morning, but we always have time to talk to our Prime Minister. Anthony Albanese, good morning.

BRENDAN JONES, HOST: Hello.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning to both of you.

KELLER: We were just talking about the coffee intake of some of America's presidents. Right up there was Teddy Roosevelt, who would have, they say, around a gallon of black coffee or four litres of coffee.

MURRAY JONES, HOST: My special guest this morning, we'll go straight to him. He joins me, the Prime Minister. Good morning, Anthony Albanese. How are you today?

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

JOE O’BRIEN, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks for joining us and for being the first interviewee in this position with Sydney extending out behind you. I think you can even see Grayndler over there.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Indeed, it’s great to be christening this wonderful new studio here in Parramatta.

O’BRIEN: Okay, so terrific news this afternoon for people paying off their mortgages. What does this indicate again about the battle against inflation?

GARY ADSHEAD, HOST: Finally, an interest rate cut, a quarter of a per cent, the first since 2020. What does it mean for you? Are you relieved? 1300 222 720. More importantly, what does it mean for my next guest? The Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese joins me now. Thanks very much for your time, Prime Minister.

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

ADSHEAD: It's been a while. You must be delighted at this decision.
