Radio interview - 4CA Cairns Breakfast with Murray Jones

MURRAY JONES, HOST: Good morning to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. How are you this morning, Albo?

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning, Murray. I'm very, very well.

JONES: Well look, 97 times, I know you've been hammered by this, you know hammered with this by the Opposition. But when it comes to power prices things do incredibly look like they're getting a little bit dimmer Albo.

Have your say on the National Strategy for the Care and Support Economy

The Government is developing a National Strategy for the Care and Support Economy to make sure we can provide sustainable, high quality care and support for Australians into the future and to make sure the people providing these services have decent jobs. 

Public consultation on the draft strategy is now open.

We are encouraging carers, the care and support workforce, people who receive care and support and the broader community to have their say on the draft Strategy.

Radio interview - 2SM Mornings with John Laws

JOHN LAWS, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has done a lot of travelling again recently, although at the moment he's very much about domestic politics. With the Federal Parliament sitting, of course, it's very domestic and very important. But I'm happy to say that our Prime Minister is on the line. Prime Minister, good morning and welcome.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Morning, John. Good to have you back on air.

Doorstop interview - Sydney

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: John Olsen deserved a wonderful send off and he received that today at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. John Olsen's passing leaves a space, but he has filled it with light and colour, as bright as that twinkle that he had in his eye. He imagined a landscape and showed it for all Australians, but indeed, to showcase it to the world. And his legacy will live on.

Statement on Mark McGowan

I spoke to Mark McGowan earlier today to congratulate him on his retirement and all he has achieved through his time in public life. Mark leaves office as he led, on his own terms and as his own man. He has been a great Premier of his proud state, an extraordinary leader for WA Labor and a trusted friend. Above all, Mark will be remembered for seeing the people of Western Australian safely through one of the most challenging crises in our nation's history. In unprecedented times, Mark always held to his convictions and always sought to do the right thing by his state.
