“Well, I'm getting married in the second half of the year, of course. I've been very lucky, very fortunate to meet Jody at this time in my life and someone who we want to spend the rest of our lives together. We have gone through a range of music that can be played as a wedding song. And I've got to say, Alistair, it will be easier to work through the global geopolitical position than it is to come up with a single song, I think, at this point in time. We do have slightly different musical tastes.”

“Wow only three, Alistair. I'd abandoned food and water to take more, it must be said. Gee, three is pretty hard. I think there would have to be, I'll narrow it for Australian. One would be Col Chisel, one would be Nick Cave and the Bad Seats, who of course is bigger in the UK than he is in Australia, I think. And the third would be there is so much amazing, there's this whole genre globally, I think, but Australia is very much a part of that of women who are Really producing some amazing music. So I'll take the opportunity to promote some younger and not so young women coming up, G-Flip, Angie McMahon, Sarah Blasco's new album is amazing for something a bit quieter to chill out to on a Sunday afternoon as well.”

“I said on election night that I regarded kindness as something that was an Australian value. And I do. I don't see that as anything other than strength, the strength to actually say that we've got a responsibility to reach out to people. And at times like this, it is a time where people will think about those values and what the message is. For Easter, of course, whether it's people of Christian faith, it's a particularly important time. But for everyone here in Australia, it is also a time where they'll spend moments with family and friends. And it's an opportunity to step back a little bit as well.”

“I will go to mass tomorrow morning at Stary's Cathedral, which is where I went to school. I was an older boy there as a young man while I was at school. And I think that the social justice values that I was raised with are a part of who I am, I think, from my perspective than the message of all of actually the great monotheistic face, there's so much commonality, which is why the conflict is so disturbing, is about social justice, is about looking after people, is about compassion and kindness. One of the things that I said on Election Night in 2022 Some of this, as we talked before about strength and defining it.”

“You know, on the issues going forward, I certainly hope that there's been a, I've appointed envoys, a special envoy on anti-Semitism and a special envoy on Islamophobia as well who are working with communities. I've appointed one of my MPs, Peter Khalil, as the parliamentary special envoy on social inclusion of how do we bring people together rather than look for division.”

“A very large population. And that's been important. And that's why any Semitism and the scourge of it and any increase in it is so disheartening for people to witness. And certainly for people with relatives in either Israel or in the occupied Palestinian territories, this has been a really tough and difficult time. And part of my job has been to make sure that we do what we can to make everyone feel welcome, but also to not bring some of those tensions here as well. But it has been a very difficult period.”

“Well, we members of the International Criminal Court and we think that international law is important and we'll continue to engage constructively. We weren't participants in some of the legal action that is taken. And I think that Australians want very much for conflict to not be brought here. We are a very successful multicultural nation. My pitch at Citizenship Ceremonies used to be that we're a microcosm for the world where people of Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, a Buddhist Catholic faith can live side by side in harmony. And that is something that has been a great success story, particularly In the post World War II period, Melbourne has the largest number of Holocaust”

There's also been appalling examples of Islamophobia, and there have also been our federal police have identified criminal elements essentially trying to take advantage of this in order to secure some advantage for themselves as well.”

“Progress potentially being made. Now, that has been Australia's long-term position. Australia played a role in the creation of the State of Israel under a Labour leader, a former Labour leader, Dr Ebbett through the UN. We of course remind people that at that time there were two states considered at that time, not just one. I think most Australians want two things. They want people put simply to cease the destructive escalations that have occurred, whether it's actions that have occurred with the extraordinary loss of life in Gaza or Hamas, I think they see as having no role, and they certainly shouldn't have a role in the future Palestinian state. But they also don't want conflict brought here to Australia. We're a long way away. We're not participants. We don't provide any arms to Israel. And we certainly don't provide...”

“By taking a principal position, and so after october seventh, the resolution that was carried with the support of the major parties by the parliament, I think has stood the test of time. It spoke about the loss of innocent life as being unacceptable. Since then, we have taken a principal position of opposing the terrorist act of Hamas on October 7, but also calling for a ceasefire, expressing our objections to the extraordinary loss of innocent life that's occurred in Gaza, calling for, and we have placed ourselves additional aid into Gaza, calling for the hostage To be released and calling for, importantly, a two-state solution of which for a while there I think that there was real”

“But the social media companies in the lead up to that December, we will have significant penalties if there are breaches, conscious breaches by social media companies. We of course have made sure that we look after educational tools and other sites that are used for education and for other positive purposes. And I'm sure there'll be a big push. But if we are successful and we're a long way from being assured of that in 14 days time, a lot can happen in an election campaign. I'm sure that come December maybe we can chat again about the pressure that's being placed on the Australian government by these companies.”

“Elam Masquer's made some rather colourful comments about the government. But I think that says more about him than it does about us. We've got a responsibility to act, but I make this point as well. Social media companies have a social responsibility to have that social license. And quite clearly, they can tell you everything about who you are. They know more about so many of our citizens than people's friends and certainly their parents do. But then they say, oh, this is all too hard. The truth is that we are trialling a range of methods as well. What we did was we passed the legislation. It did have bipartisan support across the parliament, which was very important. And we have 12 months. So it kicks in next December. And I'm sure that there will be major pressure.”

“As it's called now. And we don't pretend either that it will be 100% successful just like the state gives a directive that people under the age of 18 shouldn't have access to alcohol. It doesn't mean it's Saturday night here in Australia. Chances are somewhere in Australia there might be one or two people who have a beer who are under the age of 18 but it does set those norms and regulations out there as well. It's been met with a fierce response by the big social media companies but we say that”

“And the impact of social media can have a positive role. Of course, but the impact on young Australians is something that my government felt like. We had to address. We know that the banning of phones and devices in schools, which many state governments have done, has had a really positive impact on people actually being able to, one, get better education. But secondly, as well, learn some old-fashioned social skills by talking to each other in the playground and by engaging with each other. And heaven forbid, actually playing sport and engaging. And that's part of our message here is to empower parents to say, well, the government says you shouldn't be online or on Facebook or on Twitter or”

“So I just engage, I engage with all media outlets across the board. We don't tend not to have a cheer squad with the Labor Party. There tends to be a cheer squad to the left of us cheering on the Greens political party and some vehicles or tends to be a much larger cheer squad for the Conservatives. But people are able to assess where that is coming from and my task is just to not get blown off course by it. We do have what is world-leading reform, which is a social media ban effectively on those young Australians under the age of 16. Now we had Had a number of young Australians, and I spoke to parents who'd lost their children.”

“Rupert Murdoch and the news corp are a dominant feature of the Australian media landscape. We engage constructively but we also don't get, I think the task for a centre-left leader is not to expect that the Australian newspaper, for example, will be 50% for you and 50% against. It is just a fact of life that they have a particular position and that the task is not to be taken off course on that. And I do think that people factor it in as well. The media landscape now is far more diverse.”

“And giving indigenous Australians a say themselves, not through the voice that obviously we accept the outcome of that, but it doesn't mean that we won't try to empower Indigenous Australians. And we've done that recently with an agreement in the Northern Territory across a range of issues.”

“We're doing things like converting what essentially make work programs into programs that have real skills and real training and real wages attached. We're addressing educational disadvantage as well with better and fairer schools funding agreement that is seeing that flow. Health outcomes impact Indigenous Australians in 2025 that don't impact others. We need to recognise it and to act on it. Of course, intergenerational disadvantage is just that because it's occurred over a period of time. It will take time to solve. But the way that it's solved has to be through”

“Well, it's intergenerational disadvantage, it's hard to overcome. We need to recognise that it wasn't until the late 1960s that Indigenous people were recognized at all as citizens until in my lifetime children were taken from parents because they were indigenous, the stolen generation. And that has had a traumatic impact on Indigenous Australians. Kevin Rudd gave the apology as the first act of the incoming Labor government in 2008. So it won't be solved in a week or a month. It will be, though hopefully progress made. There is a lot of progress has been made.”

“Four year terms that have been knocked back as well. As soon as someone says no, it is really easy. And there was a lot of, there was a big negative campaign put out there. And it was some of the misinformation that was out there is something that was hurtful. There's a massive gap in Australia in birth rates, health outcomes, education outcomes, housing outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Encourage support for health, housing, education outcomes as well.”

“Indigenous Australians, many are of course will remain very hurt by the outcome of the referendum overwhelmingly indigenous communities voted yes in that referendum but came from a constitutional convention held at Uluru by Indigenous Australians themselves and of course our constitution is our nation's birth certificate and this nation didn't begin in 1788. We proudly have 65,000 years of history including the oldest continuous culture on earth and that should be in my view it should be a source of pride it certainly is to me leading this nation and so the referendum was disappointing but then again there have been two referendums on”

“Referendums are hard to win Australia. It is really easy to run a no campaign rather than a ES campaign historically. I think the figure is something like 8 out of 48 is the success rate and no referendum has ever been carried without bipartisan support. Now, I was hopeful of bipartisan support. Peter Dutton appointed one of the architects of the voice, Julian Lisa, as their shadow minister for Indigenous Affairs, but also shadow attorney general. And I took that as a positive sign. The Uluru statement came asking for constitutional recognition in a form of, it was a non-binding advisory committee, basically on matters affecting Indigenous Australians. And so there really was a modest proposal, a modest request. And Indigenous people had waited for years to get that to happen. It was a product of many years.”

“This isn't manu or man city. This is they want everyone to get on wherever possible is really what they're looking for. So for many of them, we'll be inclined, of course, historically to the United States, the Philippines, Singapore. But they really want peace in the region as well. They want security. That's a bit of a handbrake on the hawks, if you like, in global politics as well, which I see as being potentially quite positive going forward. And of course, they're great democracies. Indonesia, the largest Islamic population on earth. India, what has been achieved there, lifting people out of poverty? Is quite remarkable over the last decade. And so I've been to Indonesia three times, India twice, Japan three times in the recent period as well as Prime Minister, just since 2022, as well as other nations as well.”

“We've spoken about exporting fossil fuels. We've been very important for the Australian economy in the last century and they continue to be an important part of our economy today. But as we transition to a clean energy economy, this rep represents an incredible opportunity that Australia has of that engagement with the region. The other thing about the region is that people need to comprehend, I guess, is that for many countries Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, when you are sitting down and talking with leaders over the strategic competition that is here in the region, US and China, they want not to back a team.”

“Our engagement and reaching out. One of the things I did was give a fellow who ran Macquarie Bank would be familiar to you, Nicholas Moore did this report for us on Southeast Asia economic strategy to 2040. Now that looks very prescient now given what is occurring with the United States. It looked at what are the opportunities, what are the comparative advantages that we have with Southeast Asia. So to give just one example, I say that Australia can be a renewable energy superpower. There is what will be the world's largest solar farm is proposed for the Northern Territory to export energy to Singapore and potentially of course on the way through cables in parts of Indonesia as well. It's incredibly exciting”

“I am so optimistic about the future of this region. It's fastest growing region in the world in history. You have double digit growth in so many countries for a lot of the past couple of decades. And you will see China will, of course, is now the second largest economy, but you'll see the rise of India, which will grow to be the third largest economy. Indonesia will grow to be the fourth. ASEAN is so important. I hosted all of the Southeast Asian nations in Melbourne last year, in March. And I was so pleased that every single leader came. There were no deputies or treasurers or vice presidents, every leader came to Melbourne.”

I'm positive, I'm an optimist by definition, but one of the positive things that I've been engaged with over my time as Prime Minister is the call, it was very late on a Saturday night here in Australia. And so many of the world's leaders, including not just the European democracies, but also New Zealand, Canada and ourselves were of common views and with that sense of common purpose. And I take heart from that that the world just won't retreat. Then people won't say, oh, well, that's the big country and therefore we'll change our position. I mean, Australia will...”

“And with the atrocities that have been committed, the targeting of civilians even in recent days, we've seen it yet again, of major missile attack, and then they wait until the rescuers get there at a church service and then target again so the rescuers, the people helping to provide medical support. The actions have been barbaric by Russia. We've called it out. We'll continue to put sanctions on and we'll stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes, is our view. And I've said that.”

“We are concerned, and I've been a part of the discussions that have been convened by Prime Minister Starmer and President Macron. And Australia does get engaged, even though it's a long way from us here. We've contributed over a billion dollars of military aid as well as other support. And we regard the struggle of President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people as being not just about defending their national sovereignty and defending their borders and their people. It is a struggle about the international rule of law. And if Russia is allowed to get away with this breach of the law,”

“There in order to move forward. So it is an era of competition. Now the United States decisions to withdraw from aid and withdraw from Paris will have a real impact on the standing of the United States in the region. Now Australia, we want to be the security partner of choice in the region and we'll continue to step up. But there's no doubt that any time the United States steps back, China will seek to step forward and that is a strategic reality that we have to deal with. We have to deal with it in a mature way, in a considered way. And that's something that my government has been able to”

“In the region is that China has sought to exercise its influence in the region. The difference between Australia giving aid in the Pacific and China giving aid is that we do it without strings attached. We do it because it's the right thing to do to uplift the living standards of disadvantaged nations in the developing world. Part of that is the mitigation of climate change, for example, has been a major element there. We have work visas in Australia to assist then to repatriate dollars back to places like Vanuatu and the Solomons and other nations in the Pacific. Now, China will tend to have things attached, so they'll build a police station but then say, oh, we need some Chinese security.”

“This is part of the dynamic that has really changed with the election of the Trump administration as well. We have had strategic competition in the region between China and the United States and Australia chose a side a long time ago there and stands with democracies around the world. China has different values and that doesn't mean though that we can't engage constructively so my motto is that we'll cooperate where we can we'll disagree where we must and we'll engage in our national interest. Now part of the dynamic and it's not clear”

“China in trade represents almost one in four of Australia's exports as a destination. So if you compare that with the United States, for example, in the current trade issues, we have a 10% tariff imposed in an act of economic self-harm by the US administration. But that represents less than 5% of Australia's exports. So as a significant impact on our economy, we wish it wasn't happening and we were working it through constructively, but it doesn't have the same impact that the trade impediments that were there in China, which were worth over $20 billion to our Exports had a severe impact on the Australian economy.”

You don't have the anthems being played in a way that's occurred at ice hockey games in Canada. So it is more distant, but certainly the uncertainty that's there in the global economy and the world has an impact as well. And my government has been really determined as well to improve the relations that we have with ASEAN nations in our region, with the Pacific, with India, as well as we've restored the trade relationship with China.

“We've got energy rebates. We intervene in the market in a way that if you had said before the election, it would have seemed to be extraordinarily radical. We had a cap on coal and gas prices. But that was one we did in partnership with the Conservative government here in New South Wales, the largest state. We have had three lots of energy rebates. We've introduced free TAFE that's reduced the costs of people doing their vocational education training courses, doing apprenticeships in traditional blue-collar jobs where skills are required, but also in the care economy, aged care, childcare, disability care.”

“Contradictory positions of inflation going up. If we just pump money into the economy and did what some on the left would want us to do, then that wouldn't have achieved the outcome of looking after people. Inflation, of course, hurts the poor more than the wealthy. So I think have achieved our economic objectives in the macro sense while recognising though that many people are doing it tough. Global inflation has had an impact. We've had the biggest energy crisis since the 1970s. And so that's part of our pitch is we've done that whilst designing the cost of living relief that we've done, for example, cheaper childcare has helped families, but it also boosts productivity, it boosts workforce participation, and it lowers inflation.”

“Have been very consciously ones that remind people also of what we have achieved in this term. And then, of course, the risk of Peter Dutton and the Conservatives. So whether it is getting inflation down, inflation had a six in front and it's now 2.4. We've done that importantly while creating more jobs than have been created by any government in history and a lower average unemployment rate than any government in the last 50 years. It's just 4.1%. And we've done it as well to break economic orthodoxy with real wages increasing. So real wages have increased the last five quarters in a row. So we are saying to people we have Understood the need to deal with cost of living pressures, but we've done so in a way that hasn't caused”

“Is something that I think alienates the centre and politics in Australia, we have a different system as well. We have compulsory voting and people do go and vote and there's record numbers on the electoral roll. You win elections from either the centre-left or the centre-right. And I think what has happened, we'll see how it plays out over the next couple of weeks, but certainly Peter Dutton has gone out of his way to appeal to a right-wing base and there isn't too much that is there for the centre that can be seen as being moderate”

“Had business and unions came together all supported that legislation. I brought unions and business and civil society together to talk about jobs and skills in a summit at the end of 2022 as well. So I have consciously tried to bring people together and to reduce conflict. But in part, that's the style of Peter Dutton with his cheer squad in the media as well. We'll repeat those Comments in order to try to undermine and to try to fit into what Peter Dutton thought was the zeitgeist, if you like, of strength, channeling some other world leaders we're seeing regarding almost say, I'm very disciplined. Regarding bringing a mecho essentially to politics.”

“One of the things that I said in the let up to the 2022 election when we were elected was that people had conflict fatigue. They were sick of politicians shouting at each other. So I am someone who regards that business and unions, for example, have common interest. So one of the first things that we did was to legislate for net zero emissions and a 43% reduction in emissions by 2030. And we had a mechanism, safeguard mechanism, which put simply is placing a limit, which then goes down each year on the biggest emitters, the institutions, so your coal-fired power stations or your mines or your aluminium refineries, etc.”

And there was much more commonality. One of the things that's happening is fragmentation. can be a plus, but it also can lead to a fragmentation of political processes. And so I think it is pretty natural of that economic and social changes that we're seeing.”
