SENATOR ANNE URQUHART, SENATOR FOR TASMANIA: Thanks very much for coming everyone, can I first of all acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging. My name's Anne Urquhart, I'm a Labor Senator for Tasmania, based here in Braddon, I'm the Duty Senator for Braddon. And today, I'm very excited because I have the Prime Minister here beside me. I know he loves coming down here and I love him coming down here to show off the great things that we do here in Braddon.

RICHARD GLOVER, HOST: Prime Minister, welcome. Welcome to Drive.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you again. Greetings from Burnie in Tasmania.

GLOVER: Why are you in Burnie?

PRIME MINISTER: I'm here looking at a shiploader project that will double the productivity at the port here. So, here having a look at that, part of the Future Made in Australia plan, making sure that we grow our economy into the future.

KIERAN GILBERT, HOST: Let's go live to Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. Prime Minister, thanks for your time, as always. One of your predecessors, a much loved figure in your Party and beyond that, the late, great Bob Hawke. He said in 2016, nuclear power would be a win for the environment and an essential part of attacking dangerous global warming. Why not at least consider it?

PATRICIA KARVELAS, HOST: Well, of course, there is a big contest now over energy policy. In fact, some have described it as a referendum on energy policy and on nuclear. The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, joins me now. Prime Minister, welcome.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning.

KARVELAS: The transition to renewables is taking longer and it's costing more than many Australians anticipated. Do you acknowledge that some voters are losing faith in that transition?

ALLAN ALDWORTH, HOST: Joining us right now in the studio is the Prime Minister of Australia Anthony Albanese. Good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Wonderful to be back in Perth.

ALDWORTH: It's so weird saying that like, it's like we see each other so often. It's just like I want to be casual a little bit but I'm like no, he is the Prime Minister of the country. I better be pretty serious when I do the introduction. Thanks for coming back into WA. We appreciate it.

MICHELLE ANDERSON, HOST: What an entrance.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: What a nice one.

MICHELLE: Yeah, but listen, before we get into any business of any sorts, one Xavier Ellis over there swore he saw you just roll up in a Hertz hire van. Was that you?

PRIME MINISTER: No, I think there is one with staff in it.

MICHELLE: But I tell you what, a good dummy if it was you in there, because you'd never go, “oh Albo’s in there, it’s a Hertz van”

RAFAEL EPSTEIN, HOST: We're actually joined by the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. Thanks for joining us.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, Raf. Greetings from Perth.

EPSTEIN: Oh, that's right. Oh, gosh, it's early. Is there any significant difference in the graffiti on Josh Burn’s office this time compared to other times?

LISA SHAW, HOST: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is with us. Good morning.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Great to be here.

LISA: You have indeed been chaperoning the Chinese Premier Li around town, rock lobster has been on the agenda.

PRIME MINISTER: It has, and it was on the menu yesterday at lunch.

DEAN ‘CLAIRSY’ CLAIRS, HOST: Of course, it was.

OLIVER PETERSON, HOST: Joining me now live at nine past three is the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. Good afternoon.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you, Oly. It's great to be back in Perth.

PETERSON: And I'll come to Premier Li's visit in just a moment. But on those points from Michele Bullock, she said today the Reserve Bank has warned that, quote, “recent Budget outcomes may also have an impact on demand.” So, is high Budget making the RBA's job harder?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has welcomed Premier Li Qiang’s visit to Australia as an important milestone in stabilising our relationship with China.

Engagement and dialogue between Australia and China at the highest levels are central to our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

Premier Li’s visit, the first by a Chinese Premier since 2017, included political, business and cultural activities across Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

In Canberra, leaders met for their Annual Leaders’ Meeting, which built on discussions held in Beijing in November 2023.
