OLIVER PETERSON, HOST: Joining me now is the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Good afternoon.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Always good to have a chat with you, Ollie.
PETERSON: The Opposition is going to make this a housing and immigration election, by the sounds of things, because Peter Dutton's policies are getting people talking. Have you let too many people into Australia? Is the Government now wedged on migration?
RICHARD GLOVER, HOST: The Prime Minister is here, Anthony Albanese. Welcome, Prime Minister.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G’day, good to be with you.
GLOVER: Now, Peter Dutton's Budget reply, I think it's fair to say, was dominated by migration. A crackdown on permanent migration on foreign buyers of existing houses, international students. With a housing crisis, excess demand in the economy and these really congested roads we experience in Sydney, isn't he onto something?
MARK GIBSON, HOST: Well, in the past week or so, the Prime Minister and the Treasurer have been outselling that Federal Budget, headlined by things like the Future Made in Australia plan with billions of dollars pumped into that. We got rock getting tax cuts in July that we knew about, some more energy rebates. But is it all going to drive inflation up or down? That's one of the big questions. At nine minutes to seven, Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, he joins me. Good morning.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you, Mark.
STEVE AUSTIN, HOST: Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, joins me at a time where Australians are being told not to attempt to travel at the airport. Prime Minister, good morning to you.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Steve. Good to be with you.
AUSTIN: Do you know, or does the Australian Government know, when the French gendarmerie expect to have the situation under control?
WILL GOODINGS, HOST: We're joined live on FiveAA breakfast by the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. Prime Minister, good morning to you.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you.
THOMAS ORITI, HOST: We've had almost a week now to digest all the details in the federal Budget. Tackling the nation's cost of living crisis and addressing the rise in violence against women were at the top of the Government's agenda. I noted some new polling out by Resolve Strategic. It shows 40 per cent of respondents believe the budget's good for them. And to put that in perspective, that's up 31 per cent in last year's Budget.
DR GORDON REID, MEMBER FOR ROBERTSON: Well, good morning, everyone. My name is Dr Gordon Reid. I'm the Federal Member for Robertson here. I want to start by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land upon which we meet, and pay my respects to all elders past, present and emerging, and recognise that the land upon which we learn, love and heal always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
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.
Thank you Jacinta, for that very warm welcome on what is a big weekend for you.
It’s a special moment to stand in front of your friends and colleagues as leader of the party and Premier of the State you love.
Because – as Jacinta and all her Victorian Government colleagues appreciate – the true honour and the real purpose of public life is the chance to serve.
ROB MITCHELL, MEMBER FOR MCEWEN: Good morning, everyone. And welcome here to Beveridge. Today we acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, the Wurundjeri people. We pay our respects to Elders past present and emerging, we pay our respects to any other Aboriginal elders that will be with us.
The Albanese Government is making critical investments in Victorian infrastructure, creating jobs and unlocking Melbourne’s North.
This week’s Budget delivers an additional $750 million to complete the Camerons Lane Interchange at the intersection of the Hume Freeway at Beveridge.
This takes the total Commonwealth Government commitment to the project to $900 million, part of our $19.2 billion investment in Victorian transport infrastructure over the next 10 years.
