Good morning.

How are you? Good morning and welcome back. I'm very well. Hey, you in Canberra today? Because Parliament starts all year at Kirribilli. Where are you today?

Anthony Albanese 0:27

No, I am in Canberra, and it was a very cold weekend here, I've got to say, but at least we didn't have... that devastating rain that has really impacted so many people in Sydney and the Central Coast.

Kyle Sandilands 0:40

Oh, landslides and everything. People were evacuated out of caravan parks. Like, things were... There was a lot of water. So, Prime Minister... Well, it's been a tough time.

Anthony Albanese 0:48

It has. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been looking at, you know, dealing with bushfires in Victoria, dealing with floods in far north Queensland. I went up to Clermont as well with the...

Kyle Sandilands 1:02

floods there in central uh queensland it's been such a tough time yeah we are we get it we really do go through it around this time of year don't we still fighting in uh like some of these towns up in there in the top end territory it's still a little bit lawless are you across that or is that a more state and territory issue or i suppose you'd be aware more

Anthony Albanese 1:25

aware of it, but more state and territories are responsible for those things. I also saw a thing last night, I've got to say, with these large numbers of teenagers on e-bikes. Oh, yeah, yeah. Alongside the road and, yeah, I mean, it's...

How does Anthony Albanese describe recent extreme weather impacts across Australia?

Anthony Albanese 1:45

a lack of common sense with some of that going on.

Jackie O (Jackie Henderson) 1:48

You don't drive around anymore, do you? Like, someone's always... He's not allowed to drive.

Anthony Albanese 1:53

You're not allowed to drive. Not while you're Prime Minister.

Jackie O (Jackie Henderson) 1:55

Do you miss that?

Anthony Albanese 1:57

No, I do a bit, I've got to say. The thing I really miss is the freedom of just... Being able to catch up with a mate for a beer at a pub by myself.

2:07

Oh, right.

Kyle Sandilands 2:07

What happens if you and Jodie have an argument? You can't even storm off in the car.

Jackie O (Jackie Henderson) 2:12

Well, they've been straighter there at all times.

Anthony Albanese 2:15

We don't have arguments. This is just one long honeymoon.

2:17

LAUGHTER

Jackie O (Jackie Henderson) 2:18

Of course. I like that. So, like, yeah, you wouldn't even be aware because us on the roads, right, we are navigating these e-bikes left, right and centre. It is everywhere.

Kyle Sandilands 2:29

Those e-bikes, it's not an issue to me. If the kids want to Yahoo around on the e-bike...

Jackie O (Jackie Henderson) 2:33

But you have to be so careful because those kids are like, you know.

Kyle Sandilands 2:38

Yeah, you can't have them too powerful. But I remember, Albo, back in the 80s, me and my brother would pull Dad's Victor mower apart and attach the lawnmower engine to the BMX. And, gee, we got in trouble back in the day. But now.

Jackie O (Jackie Henderson) 2:50

Now it's all good.

Kyle Sandilands 2:51

Yeah, it's a different vibe.

Jackie O (Jackie Henderson) 2:52

They are fun, though. Hey, can I ask.

Anthony Albanese 2:54

Now you can go buy one like that. Yeah, I know. I've got two of them.

Jackie O (Jackie Henderson) 2:56

What do you think of Pauline Hanson's One Nation now, the second most popular party behind Labor?

Anthony Albanese 3:03

It's a worry because they can appeal to grievance, but they're a pretty divisive lot. And I think it's a worry. I'm a believer in, here you go, I'll say something nice about the other side of politics. I'm a believer in mainstream politics and that the parties of government It's important. It served this country pretty well. I look at overseas where you have a real fragmentation and you might have five or six parties in government and it's unstable. Italy, of course, was famous for a while there, changing governments every year. And so, I mean, it's... It's a reality that the Coalition in particular have to deal with. I think that they need to stand for some positive things as well.

Kyle Sandilands 3:56

Yeah. Well, she's over there, Pauline, and she's got Barnaby there as well now. By the way, I heard Donald Trump asked you directly to be a part of the Board of Peace for Gaza. Is that something you're going to consider?

Anthony Albanese 4:13

Yes, yeah, look... No, we'll consider anything that is put forward. President Trump, of course, I have a pretty good relationship with, but there are some Areas of disagreement as well, obviously.

Kyle Sandilands 4:30

You've got to be careful when you disagree with Trump because, you know, you don't want tariffs and all this.
