ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thank you, Galarrwuy. This is an extraordinary gift. Can I thank the Yolngu people as well for the extraordinary gift. This will take pride of place in my new home. I've moved back into public housing. But that is a very important personal gift. But can I say, and I'll have more to say about this tomorrow, can I thank the dancers for the extraordinary gift that they have just given us.

Ngarra ga Buku guru-pan Gumatj, Yothu Yindi nha go Yolgnu mala.

[Translation: I pay my respect to Gumatj, Yothu Yindi and Yolngu Mala.]

I acknowledge the people of the Yolngu nation. I recognise all the elders, leaders and families who have made great contributions to our nation.

In particular, I acknowledge the Gumatj clan whose lands we are meeting on today.

Last night’s Bungul was a deeply moving moment for me, it was an honour to bear witness to dance and song and story and tradition tracing back some 60,000 years. 

JOHN PAUL JANKE, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks for speaking with us today. In the lead-up to the election and the election campaign, when you spoke about the Uluru Statement, and even now when you talk about it, you get quite emotional about it. What does this Statement mean to you personally?

DAVID SPEERS, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks for joining us here at Garma.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be on the program. And it is great to be here at Garma.

SPEERS: It is. Look, let’s start with the words in your speech here. You described a Voice to Parliament as an opportunity to deliver a long overdue embrace of truth and justice and decency and respect for First Nations people. How would it achieve those things?

JAKE TAPPER, HOST: The death toll in Kentucky flooding is rising again this morning. The number now is 26 dead, as the effects of the climate crisis continue to wreak havoc around the world.

In Australia, the new Prime Minister has pledged to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. But is the rest of the world on board?

Joining me now, the prime minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese.

Thank you so much for joining me.

HOST: Wow, good morning everyone. It is just on 18 to eight from DJing to the PM office. Good morning mate. Welcome back to the show.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA: Thanks for having me on the programme.

HOST: Oh good morning Albo, now a lot has changed since we spoke to you last.

The Government is pleased to announce the creation of a new role, Special Envoy for Disaster Recovery, which will be held by Senator Tony Sheldon.

Senator Sheldon will work alongside Minister for Emergency Management, Murray Watt, to ensure much-needed support is delivered to communities when natural disasters hit.

A number of natural disasters have impacted parts of Australia in recent years, and we know from experts natural disasters will become more frequent and more severe due to the effects of climate change.

KIERAN GILBERT: Let's start with the release of this Home Affairs report. The Secretary says that the apolitical character of the public service was preserved in this instance because the public servants didn't amplify that news of the boat arrival on election day. Do you agree with the Secretary's assessment on that?

The first bullet of World War I heralded a calamity on a scale unknown to humanity. The last shot was followed by silence.

As Charles Bean wrote of the eerie quiet that settled along the Western Front:

“The change went too deep for actual rejoicing… The sound of guns ceased – the gates of the future silently opened.”

While many of our soldiers found ways to celebrate, many greeted the peace with their own quiet.
