1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is with us.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 2: Hello, good, good morning, good to be with you. It's

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: certainly a very warm welcome.

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: As Clay said earlier, it can get you know, deceivingly hot.

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Well not deceivingly, but what a lot of us don't realize.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: It can get pretty hot in Canberra and you know

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: figuratively literally the whole thing. But yes, how did you

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: how did you keep cool?

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 3: Yesterday?

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: Well? Yes, I had a barbecue in an act that

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: probably wasn't that sensible, was organized in advance in Hyde

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: Park workers who are benefiting from tax cuts that we

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: passed through the House of Reps last last week. So

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: I was I was very surprised at how many people

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: turned up, brave the weather families having an afternoon there

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: in what is a beautiful park, beautiful sun studying.

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: It is very nice. What are you doing in town?

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: Well today, I'm off to tafe this morning at Thornley

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: with Matt Keek, the local member, talking about our fee

20
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: free tathe where three hundred thousand Australians got access to

21
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: fee free tape last year, taking pressure off cost of

22
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: living but also giving people the skills that we need,

23
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: we need build carpenters and sparkys and nurses and age

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: care workers and childcare workers. So we'll be talking about

25
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: that we have the whole cabinet is here in Perth.

26
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: This is the third time that the whole Cabinet has

27
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 2: come to WA for meetings, either in Perth or Port

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: Headlund and I meeting catching up with the Premier today

29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: Roger Cook to talk about nickel and to talk about

30
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: industry and jobs here in WA. And then tonight I

31
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: have a very large gathering of nine one hundred and

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: fifty of my closest friends from the Chinese Australian community

33
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: celebrating the Year of the Dragon at the dinner that's

34
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: been organized by Sam Limb, who's an amazing local member

35
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: here of course the member for Tanging.

36
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: It sounds like quite a these up. Have you got

37
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: a whole lot of West Australians in your face asking

38
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: you to perhaps sign a GST pledge for WA Promister,

39
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: They constant.

40
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: Well, no, because most people know that after this is

41
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: very clear on that. You know, we've even sorted out

42
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: all the other states last December. Everyone in WA supports it,

43
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: the federal government supports it. We needed to make sure

44
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 2: that every other state wasn't worse off, and we did

45
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: that by extending the arrangements through the National Cabinet last December.

46
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: And I did see some comments from the Liberal Party

47
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 2: here in Wa took a break from knocking each other

48
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: off in pre selections talk about federal policy. But I

49
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: just think it's them searching for relevance. Frankly, when you've

50
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: only got a couple of people in your caucus then

51
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: and you knock off the former leader, then I think

52
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: that's all. It is.

53
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: Only on the weekend, well, on Friday it was exactly

54
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: over forty asylum seekers were discovered in Beagle Bay and

55
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: WS Far North. They've been sent to Naharu. This has

56
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: become a fairly big story because what do you say

57
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: to criticism the border operations not working.

58
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: Well, It is working. That's why they're in Nahru. That's

59
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: the whole point, the whole point of no.

60
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: But they I mean before they went to Nauru, when

61
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: they arrived.

62
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: That's happened in the past. There's been people wandering around

63
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: Queensland beaches on the former government's watch. What's important is

64
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 2: the systems in place so that people who arrive as

65
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: unauthorized arrivals by it won't be allowed to settle here.

66
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: That's my government's policy. That's been the government policy that

67
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: was established since twenty and thirteen under Kevin Rudd, and

68
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: that remains the policy. And the proof is in the

69
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: putting of what's happened.

70
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: Promise wouldn't the idea be to stop them from.

71
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: Arriving, of course, but that has happened. There's a big coastline,

72
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: it's a big country and so these things have happened

73
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: in the past, have happened. Now what's important is how

74
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: you respond and the message its sins, so that people

75
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: aren't encouraged to risk their life on what is a

76
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: very dangerous journey. And what is said about this occasion

77
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: is the approach of the opposition under Peter Dutton, who

78
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: seems to be conducting a bit of a cheer squad

79
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: and encouraging this sort of activity with his retora, which

80
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: is why the Hea of Operations Sovereign Borders made such

81
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: a clear statement over the weekend calling upon that sort

82
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: of rhetorical position to not be broadcast an I.

83
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: Want to go back to Nicol. You did mention Nicol

84
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: in particular for those people in the nickel industry who

85
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: are worried about jobs. And this happens from time to time,

86
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: doesn't it when another market, the market's flooded by some

87
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: cheaper produce or cheaper minerals. What will be brought up today,

88
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: what can be done and what can be said in

89
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: regards to the issues with the nickel industry right now?

90
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: Well, this is something that has happened over a very

91
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: short period of time. Indonesia has gone from supplying five

92
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: percent of the international market to supplying fifty percent of

93
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: the international market and that's led to a significant reduction

94
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: in price. What we need to do is to make

95
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: sure that we get through this with a calibrated, targeted

96
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: and time limited response, and that's something that my government

97
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: is certainly prepared to do. We listed nickel on the

98
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: Critical Minerals List, which will enable industry to get access

99
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: to various support mechanisms that we have in place. We

100
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: did that over the weekend and of course Madeline King,

101
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: our Resources Minister, is a great West Australian there and

102
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: is very conscious about the impact of this. So I'll

103
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: be having further discussions with the Premiere about our support

104
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: to the industry. Today.

105
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: Can we talk about the nicest thing that's happened in

106
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: your life last week she said, yes, you proposed. Of course, disappointingly,

107
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: this means you won't be on the next season. Married

108
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: at first sight, really, and that's off the table. I've

109
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: been hanging out for that.

110
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: But congratulation. There was a big chance of that happening anyway.

111
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: But thank you very much. People have been lovely and

112
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 2: it was a very significant moment in my life in

113
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: in Jody's life, and we're very happy together and we

114
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: both want to spend the rest of our lives together

115
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: and marriage formalizes that very much. But it was it

116
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: was a lovely night. I put a lot of thought

117
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: into it. Of course, on balance i'd stay. Some people

118
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: saw that as being a bit corny. But you've got

119
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: to pick a date, better day.

120
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: You wouldn't do it the day before, mister Prime Minister.

121
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: I've got a question asking for a friend. Kyle Sandlan's

122
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: come to you. You went to his wedding, didn't you?

123
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: I did? Indeed, I love weddings been great celebrations of love.

124
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: Does that mean Kyle gets a guaranteed invite to yours?

125
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: Because you'll feel like you snapped him?

126
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: No one, No one has a guarantee invite. Now we're

127
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: going to sit down and when we have a chance. Yeah,

128
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: we haven't really spent any time I would run.

129
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Suppose you may be somewhere nice. Well, no one knows about.

130
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: Well one suggestion that's been made. But it is also

131
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: I think weddings are a time where you do want

132
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: to have friends and family around you. But we'll talk

133
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: those things through. We'll talk those things too privately rather

134
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: than on radio. Just as well, my whole team are

135
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: in shock that no one knew about it. I managed

136
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: to keep it to myself to see a private thing

137
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: in my life, and it was It was just lovely.

138
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: And the response from family and friends it has been

139
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: really really warm, and I must say the public response

140
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: as well has been lovely.

141
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: We know you love the wedding and you wondered a

142
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: wedding singer or a DJ because you'll be on the decks.

143
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: Note we know you love your music.

144
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: All the very best. Absolutely, thanks very much, guys, stay

145
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: cooled today, do your best. Oh it will be hard,

146
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 2: but I will. I think all I can do is

147
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: do my best.

148
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 3: I do mean literally, it is a hot day.

149
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, Prime Minister.

150
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: All the best. Have a good day, thank
