RAF EPSTEIN, HOST: We're joined now by the Prime Minister at ten minutes past nine. Anthony Albanese. Good morning. Well, I think - no, have we got you there, PM?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Yep.

EPSTEIN: We do now. We do now. Can hear you. Oh, good, good, good, good. The technology's working. Even though you're attacking the tech giants. For this to be a success, how many kids will need to lose their accounts?

HAMISH MACDONALD, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, is here this morning. Very good morning to you.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks very much, Hamish, and apologies to Sarah. Not a good career move to upset Sarah Ferguson.

MACDONALD: Yeah, just you wait. Next time you're on 7:30, Prime Minister, you might cop it.

PRIME MINISTER: I just want to make it clear that was your decision, not mine.

MATT SHIRVINGTON, HOST: Welcome back. Australia's landmark social media ban for under 16s is officially in effect, with kids booted off platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Snapchat as well.

NAT BARR, HOST: Well, joining us now live in the studio is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Good morning to you.

DAVID CAMPBELL, HOST: Start a new sport or learn a new instrument, that's the Prime Minister's message to Aussie teens this morning as the landmark under 16s social media ban comes into effect.

SYLVIA JEFFREYS, HOST: And we're pleased to say Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joins us live in studio now. Prime Minister, great to see you and thanks for giving us some time this morning.

JAMES GLENDAY, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome back to the program.

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which we meet, and pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging.

I extend a warm welcome to all leaders from across business and government joining us today – from Papua New Guinea, Australia, our region and the world.

My particular thanks to Tracey Spicer and the President of PNG Core, Anthony Smare.

DAVID SPEERS, HOST: The Prime Minister is with me now. Anthony Albanese, from the honeymoon to the Insiders studio. Congratulations, firstly, on your wedding.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, David. Thank you very much, and can I take the opportunity to thank Australians for the very warm wishes that we have received. It's been quite heartening, and it was a wonderful marriage and then a four-day honeymoon is short, but it was wonderful to have a bit of time off together.

Starting this Wednesday, children under the age of 16 will be banned from having ­social media accounts.

This will be one of the ­biggest social and cultural changes our nation has faced. It is profound reform which will be a source of national pride in years to come.

MARK RILEY, HOST: Prime Minister, thanks for joining Seven News.

PRIME MINISTER: You can do better than that. Good morning.

STUDENTS: Good morning.

ANIKA WELLS, MINISTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS: Good morning, PM.

PRIME MINISTER: Anika Wells is the Minister for Communications, and I'm the Prime Minister, and welcome to Parliament House.
