The Albanese and Allan Labor Governments are fixing roads across Victoria, improving safety and better connecting Melbourne’s suburbs, Victoria’s regions, and surrounds.
The Australian and Victorian Governments will deliver two new road projects in a big win for the south-east:
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia joined a Coalition of the Willing virtual meeting hosted by Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom, along with President Zelenskyy and leaders from Europe, Canada and New Zealand.
Prime Minister Albanese reiterated Australia’s strong and steadfast support for Ukraine and restated that Australia will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
Leaders agreed to continue working on delivering concrete actions to support Ukraine now and into the future.
SHAUN MCMANUS, HOST: The Prime Minister is just sitting down next to you – now the Prime Minister has to know a lot about everything, of course. And I just want to ask him straight off the bat. Good morning to you, Albo. It's great to have you in here. Jeremy McGovern, six time All Australian from the West Coast Eagles. What can you tell me about him?
ZANETA MASCARENHAS, MEMBER FOR SWAN: Alright, I’ll start by acknowledging the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nations and their elders past, present and emerging. I would like to welcome Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Minister Ed Husic for coming to Curtin University. I was born in Kalgoorlie, I grew up in Kambalda, I worked in a nickel mining town. This is a state that can not just mine things, but we can manufacture things as well. As a chemical engineer that studied at this very university, I know the potential that WA has.
ROBBIE VON, HOST:We have a very special guest in the studio with us right now. Let's welcome the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. Albo, how are we?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Listen to the clapping and cheering.
VON: We brought everyone in for you, mate.
PRIME MINISTER: Slim's cheering just outside.
The Albanese Labor Government is building Australia’s future, today announcing $750 million to boost development of new technologies to ensure our metals manufacturers remain globally competitive.
Australia is already prized for its alumina, aluminium, iron and steel, and this funding will value add to our high quality Australian metals exports worth over $150 billion annually.
GARY ADSHEAD, HOST: As I speak to you, the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, is walking into the studio. So, I won't bore anyone any more, Prime Minister, with my stories of working at a holiday camp in Britain because you are joining me in the studio. How are you?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to see you, Gary, what were you doing in the holiday camp?
OLY PETERSON, HOST: Joining me in the 6PR studios this afternoon is the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good to see you.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, Oly. I'm not surprised by that announcement, I've got to say. Driving here – we were in the hills with Trish Cook there – and on the road on the way there were trees down, fire engines and emergency services rushing to clear debris away. It's a pretty fierce storm out there. So, if you're driving – drive safely, please.
TRISH COOK, LABOR CANDIDATE FOR BULLWINKEL: Good morning everyone. Thank you for being here on this unusual weather outside. Glad we all got here safely on the roads, they're very slippery. It's my great pleasure today to be here at the Mundaring GP Super Clinic with Dr. Kiran, who is the practice owner, to welcome Anthony Albanese, our Prime Minister. Mundaring is right in the heart of Bullwinkel, which is the new electorate named after a nurse. And as a nurse myself, I'm so pleased for what Labor is doing for nursing, medicine and general practice.
CRAIG REUCASSEL, HOST: This morning the Prime Minister's in Sydney to announce a $1 billion spend on South West Sydney to connect Badgerys Creek Airport with Macarthur and Campbelltown. Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, joins me now. Morning, Prime Minister.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Craig. I don't know about your Wordle theory, mate. I reckon if ever I got it in one, I'd be pretty happy.
REUCASSEL: Really? You obviously don't play Wordle then.
