THOMAS ORITI, HOST: Australia's major supermarkets could be fined billions of dollars under a proposal from a former Labor Minister tasked with investigating the industry's dealings with suppliers. Dr. Craig Emerson's interim report recommends the Government to create a mandatory code with potentially massive financial penalties amid allegations the grocers are abusing their market power. Now, important to note, there's currently a voluntary code of conduct. Few issues though, the supermarkets themselves drafted it.

JULIAN HILL, MEMBER FOR BRUCE: Thanks everyone. I'm Julian Hill, the Member for Bruce. And we're here in the heart of the Bruce electorate, but really in the heart of the city of Casey. This is my colleague, Cassandra Fernando, the Member for Holt, who covers most of the rest of the city of Casey. And we're both absolutely delighted to welcome the Prime Minister here yet again. I don't want to make him sound like a stalker, but he's a frequent visitor here to southeast Melbourne.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet, and I pay respects to all Elders past, present and emerging.

One of my great privileges as Prime Minister is being invited to celebrate anniversaries. Moments when we get to come together in joy and appreciation to mark a milestone in the life of our nation.

What’s less common is to come together and be able to say: Here is something that changed the world.  

Thank you to Liverpool City Council and Mayor Ned Mannoun for inviting me to today.

I’d also like to acknowledge the member for Fowler, Dai Le, who I know has been a big supporter of this project.

And the member for Werriwa, Anne Stanley, who of course has proudly served as a councillor on Liverpool City Council.

I’m thrilled to join you all for the opening of this magnificent new precinct.

This development sends a strong message about the future of Western Sydney.

It says this region is growing, fast.

Businesses are moving here.

The Interstate Terminal at the Moorebank Intermodal Precinct officially opens this morning, marking an important milestone in the Albanese Government’s commitment to build a resilient, efficient and sustainable national supply chain and support a future made in Australia.

It will be Australia’s first major metropolitan ‘independent’ interstate terminal, operating under an open access arrangement and not controlled by a single existing above rail operator.

ANNE STANLEY, MEMBER FOR WERRIWA: I'd like to welcome you all to Southwest Sydney but most importantly, the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. As the Federal Infrastructure Minister some 10 years ago, he was the one that had the vision for this part of the world. And it's going to make so much of difference to the residents and my constituents who are going to be able to find work. And it's just so exciting that this is finally opening. I introduce you to the Prime Minister.

In 2007, I was appointed Australia’s first ever Infrastructure Minister, with the creation of Infrastructure Australia was a central policy.

This was about ensuring cost benefit analysis of projects to drive productivity and economic growth were the focus of the national government’s investment, not electoral maps.

There is no greater example of the difference this approach has made than in this transformative project.

I’m very pleased to join you all this morning for the National Small Business Summit.

I’m here because the Government that I lead respects and values every one of Australia’s 2.5 million small businesses - and the more than 5 million Australians employed by them.

We respect how hard everyone in small business works.

We recognise the aspiration at the heart of every small business, the determination to build something for yourself and your family.

We value the contribution you make to the life of our communities - and the strength of our nation.

SABRA LANE, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, joins us now from Sydney. Prime Minister, good morning and welcome.

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

LANE: The Spanish Prime Minister says Israel's explanation of what's happened is insufficient and unacceptable. Do you share those thoughts?

JOURNALIST: Have you spoken with Benjamin Netanyahu and has the Government been provided with any answer as to why these aid workers were targeted?
