Statement - Sydney

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Last night's arson attack on the synagogue in East Melbourne is cowardly, is an act of violence and antisemitism, and has no place in Australian society.

It is to be hoped that the perpetrator is brought to justice urgently, and that he faces the full force of the law, and anyone involved in this attack faces the full force of the law.

I have spoken just today with Rabbi Dovid Gutnick. Dovid is someone who is very proud of the community that he leads.

Q&A - Australia's economic outlook 2025

ANDREW CLENNELL, HOST: I know you're sick of questions about Donald Trump, so I thought I'd start with that.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I've got practise that seamlessly segueing into –

CLENNELL: Let's see what segues, I'm worried about your segues today. Are you more confident after Penny Wong's meeting with Marco Rubio you'll get this one-on-one meeting and perhaps more importantly, even if you did, does it make a difference on things like tariffs and AUKUS?

Australia's economic outlook

I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging.

Can I join in welcoming the many leaders from across the business community here today.

Every morning, when we look at The Australian or turn on Sky News, we are reminded this is a time of significant global uncertainty.

Conflict in the Middle East and Europe.

Upheaval in the world economy.

Strategic competition in our region.

Technology rewriting the way we live and work.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good evening.
