PETER STEFANOVIC, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, joins us live now. PM, what a moment. What a morning.
PETER STEFANOVIC, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, joins us live now. PM, what a moment. What a morning.
Well, thanks very much Giaan.
And I also begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, and pay my respect to elders, past, present and emerging.
MATT DORAN, HOST: Well, let's head back out to the Qantas hanger now. This is the welcome home party at Sydney Airport. Shirvo's there right now. You've had some big names there, Shirvo. Who have you got now? Oh, just throw in the PM.
MATT SHIRVINGTON, HOST: Well, none bigger in Australia than the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. And I'm glad, Matt, that you called it a party. It's not just a ceremony, it's not a welcome home ceremony, it's a welcome home party.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It is, absolutely.
KARL STEFANOVIC, HOST: It's a very good morning to a man who can find his way to the odd party or two. Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. PM, good to see you.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Fantastic to be here, what a great day.
STEFANOVIC: Isn't it? Just to see the families here, to see friends, you know, our most successful Olympics ever. As PM, what's that been like for you?
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will welcome the Prime Minister of New Zealand, The Rt Hon Christopher Luxon, to Australia from 15–16 August 2024 as a Guest of the Australian Government.
Prime Minister Albanese will meet with Prime Minister Luxon in Canberra for the annual Australia-New Zealand Leaders' Meeting.
The leaders will discuss modernising our economic relationship, strengthening our Alliance and broader security partnership, and supporting our Pacific partners.
This will be Prime Minister Luxon's third official visit to Australia.
JODIE ODDY, HOST: Now I need you to straighten up for me and be on your best behaviour because this is quite possibly the most important guest that we've ever had on the Jodie and Hayesy Show.
ANDREW HAYES, HOST: It's Jason Horne-Francis.
ODDY: Very, very- higher than Jason.
HAYES: Oh my god.
ODDY: I know, you never thought it was possible. Please say a very good morning to our Prime Minister, Mr Anthony Albanese. How are you?
CHRIS DITTMAR, HOST: The Prime Minister was in town yesterday with Peter Malinauskas making an announcement about the South Road, the tunnels that are going to be built, the extension making it into a freeway. $15.5 billion project. Prime Minister, my first question to you this morning, you said yesterday this will be finished early. It will be done before 2030. I don't know if you've built anything recently in Australia. If you build a home or you put an extension on or whatever, but gee, they don't come in on time too often. You reckon this will be done early?
SONYA FELDHOFF, HOST: Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese joins us now. Good morning, Prime Minister.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Thanks for rubbing in how beautiful it is there in Adelaide. I'm speaking from, I assure you that Canberra is not that sort of temperature overnight.
LOUISE MILLER-FROST, MEMBER FOR BOOTHBY: Hi everyone, my name is Louise Miller-Frost, I'm the member for Boothby, and it's my absolute honour to be here today to welcome the Prime Minister. Of course, we have also the Premier, Tom Koutsantonis - the Minister for Infrastructure, and my friends Jayne Stinson with baby Quinn and Nadia Clancy, who are also local members. And my federal colleague, somewhere, Steve Georganas. This is a really exciting project for South Australia.
The final stage of a long-awaited seamless North South Corridor has reached a major milestone, with a preferred alliance partner being selected for the nation-shaping project.
The project will be completed by deadline, but it’s likely South Australians will be able to enjoy the full benefits of the River Torrens to Darlington Project (T2D Project) even sooner than expected – with three Tunnel Boring Machines to be operating at the same time, instead of the expected two.
