Speech - Indian Diaspora Event

Thank you friends.

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.

And I am proud to lead a government that will give all of you, all Australians, the chance to vote in a referendum to recognise our First Peoples in our nation's Constitution later this year.

And I urge my Indian-Australian friends, vote yes.

It is a huge pleasure to welcome Prime Minister Modi to Australia.

Press conference - Hiroshima, Japan

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: One year ago today I was given the great honour of being elected as Australia's 31st Prime Minister. I want to sincerely thank the Australian people for the opportunity that I've had to represent Australia and to lead the Australian Government. I said on that evening that I'd lead a government with a sense of purpose - and I believe that we have. We've set out to do what we said we would do. To fulfil our promises and commitments we gave to the Australian people in the lead up to the 21st of May 2022.
