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

My fellow Australians and my very-soon-to-be fellow Australians.

It’s an honour to be here in this beautiful part of our country, to share in this joyous occasion and to help welcome all of you to our Australian family.

Citizenship ceremonies are one of the great traditions of our modern nation and attending them is one of the great privileges of public life.

ANNE URQUHART, SENATOR FOR TASMANIA: I'm Anne Urquhart, Labor Senator from Tasmania, based here in Devonport. It's been my absolute delight today to have the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, here in my duty electorate of Braddon. We've just attended a fantastic citizenship ceremony for about 27 new citizens here in Devonport, which is just really, really good.

TANYA WILKS, HOST: And coming to Newcastle today is our Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. And he's on the phone with us now. Good morning, PM.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Good to chat with you again.

WILKS: You too.

STEVE GRAHAME, HOST: Word is that you're in my suburb of Carrington today. I'm sorry to do this PM, but could you put my bins out, please?

The Albanese Labor Government’s landmark legislation to deliver the single biggest investment in affordable and social housing in more than a decade has passed the Parliament.

The $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund will now be established, creating a secure, ongoing pipeline of funding for social and affordable rental housing.

This will be life changing legislation that will help generations of Australians.

The passage of this legislation delivers on the commitment the Albanese Government made to the Australian people before the election.

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.

I am proud to lead a Government that will give every Australian the opportunity to vote Yes for Recognition, Listening and Better Results on the 14th of October.

I’d like to thank News Corp for this opportunity to come together and talk about the better future that’s within our reach – and what we need to do to ensure we grasp it.

Today, we, the leaders of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States mark the second anniversary of the announcement of AUKUS.

LINDA BURNEY, MINISTER FOR INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS: Good morning everyone and thank you so much for coming along today. Barack Obama said, "If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress." Today, after walking 650 kilometres from Melbourne to Sydney for the second time, I think it's fair to say that Michael Long is a living example that if you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. Michael, thank you for your decency. Thank you for your strength.

DANNY CHIFLEY, HOST: Who's that we've got on the phone right now?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day. Anthony Albanese here. How are you? Down in Canberra.

CHIFLEY: Oh my god. Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. Thank you so much for calling today to subscribe to 2SER as part of our Radiothon. It's very much appreciated.

PRIME MINISTER: My absolute pleasure. Although I don't think I can win the album.

Ashleigh Raper, Host: Prime Minister, all along you said when the campaign started properly and people began engaging with the Voice that you were confident the majority of Australians would vote Yes. Are you still confident?

PAUL AMOS, MAYOR OF COFFS HARBOUR: What a wonderful progressive day for Coffs Harbour. It is my absolute pleasure to have the leader of our nation here, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. It's just an absolute blast for Coffs Harbour. Thank you for giving us your time on a weekend, I know you don't get weekends. But still, we value it so much. And without any further ado, the Prime Minister of Australia.
