HAMISH MACDONALD, HOST: First, though, we are going to take you straight to the Prime Minister this morning. There is mounting pressure on the Federal Government over the return of this cohort of women and children from Northern Syria, some of them, to here in Sydney. Overnight, the Home Affairs Minister confirms that this group has been issued with Australian passports. One of the women has had a Temporary Exclusion Order applied, which could delay her return for up to two years.

JACQUI FELGATE, HOST: Joining me on the line now is the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good afternoon.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good afternoon, Jacqui. Good to be able to chat with you again.

FELGATE: You are spending a bit of time in our neck of the woods this week.

SUZIE JONES, CEO OF LADY GOWRIE TASMANIA: Thank you. I'd like to welcome everyone, including the Prime Minister and Anne to our Lady Gowrie Gilbert Street, Latrobe service. We're very proud to stand this service up in just under three months as an interim service while we build a new state of the art service down the road. Worked closely with the Albanese Government, State Government and Council for the funding to stand up this service.

HOST: Hit Breakfast with Dan and Christie with Izzy this morning. And this bloke is the 31st Prime Minister of Australia. He's leading the country with energy, optimism. He's got the mind of a scholar, the body of granite. He's the total package. Mr. Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. How you going, mate?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: What a wonderful introduction. I might speak to you every morning, mate.

KIM NAPIER, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is on the northwest coast today where families in Latrobe have been crying out for more child care places. We'll chat about that and ask what the early read is on Burnie's Urgent Care Clinic. And what does the Foo Fighters record breaking weekend say about the future of regional Tasmania? Prime Minister, welcome back to Northern Tasmania.

MARY DOYLE, MEMBER FOR ASTON: Hi everyone. My name is Mary Doyle and I am the Member for Aston, although this is technically Deakin. So, I'd like to kick off by welcoming the Prime Minister back to the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne that I've called home for 38 years now. And a big thank you also to Swinburne TAFE for hosting us here today. So, across the course of the 2025 election campaign, we heard loud and clear how Free TAFE is changing lives of people right across the country.

JOURNALIST: Just from my Canberra colleagues today - regarding the women that are trying to travel from Syria to Australia, has a security threat been made about them? And if so, what is it?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, we monitor all of these issues, but we are not repatriating these people.

JOURNALIST: How will you seek to stop them from coming to Australia then?

PRIME MINISTER: Well, we're not repatriating them. We -

RAF EPSTEIN, HOST: The Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in Melbourne. Good morning. Thank you for coming in.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Wonderful to be here, Raf.

EPSTEIN: I do just want to start with this little altercation outside court. I just wonder, pretend for a moment you're not well known as a Prime Minister. If you walk down the street, saw a neo-Nazi leader who you knew off TV, would you say something?

JAMES GLENDAY, HOST: It's been a big few weeks in Canberra and we've been hearing from you this morning about what sort of things could really help you deal with the rising cost of living. So, who better to ask than the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, who joins us now in the studio. PM, good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be here in Melbourne.

BRIDGET BRENNAN, HOST: Yeah, great to see you, PM. We're celebrating Lunar New Year, of course. Year of the Fire Horse.

HOST: Oh, you pressed the right button because in honour of the Prime Minister coming in, you've played that song. Prime Minister, welcome to the show.

HOST: Welcome.

HOST: Thank you for joining us. Have you got your Joy Division t-shirt on?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Great to be in Melbourne. I don't this morning. I'm in a suit, as you do, unfortunately, but I'm much more comfortable in a band t-shirt, I've got to say.
