JAMES VALENTINE, HOST: Prime Minister, good morning.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, good to be with you, James.
VALENTINE: When did you hear about it?
JAMES VALENTINE, HOST: Prime Minister, good morning.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, good to be with you, James.
VALENTINE: When did you hear about it?
JUSTINE ELLIOT, MEMBER FOR RICHMOND: Good morning. I'm Justine Elliot, I'm the Member for Richmond. And I'm so excited to have the Prime Minister here today, back on the North Coast. He's been here many, many times. And, of course, he knows our region so well and knows the people here as well. So it is a very exciting day for us. Thank you Prime Minister.
ADAM GILMOUR, GILMOUR SPACE TECHNOLOGIES: We are super happy to have the Prime Minister visit us at Gilmour Space Technologies. What you're looking at is the first orbital vehicle that's ever been designed and built in Australia. It's critical technology, only 11 nations on the planet have orbital vehicles. When we go to space, we will be the 12th. I really appreciate the Prime Minister taking time out of his busy day to come and see us. I know you're very busy. I hope you're impressed with this.
STEVE AUSTIN, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome to ABC Radio Brisbane once again.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon. Good to be with you, Steve.
Well thank you so much. 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. And of course, I'm proud to lead a government that will give Australians the chance to recognise Indigenous Australians in our Constitution in the last quarter of this year.
MIKE BAIRD, HAMMONDCARE: Let me just start by saying it is an incredibly special day - on behalf of our staff, our wonderful care workers and our nurses - on International Nurses Day, I couldn't be prouder of them. And I know across the sector, we are so fortunate to have them. Our care workers and our nurses, each day, what they do is they make a difference to people's lives. And that's not words, that's a reality. And if you heard the joy from our workers, everything about is giving dignity, respect, quality of life, to those that we have the privilege to care for.
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.
