Podcasts about prime minister albanese

Nikki Osborne stops by in a full greyhound dress to chat about her brand new show Bush Deep, launching today on YouTube and the Nova Player. It's a roast disguised as a chat show filmed in parks, on beaches and apparently on Larry Emdur's boat, which he described as a hut and turned out to be a three storey bunker palace. First guest is Larry Emdur and Nikki came out swinging. She also reveals that since launching the show, Prime Minister Albanese started following her on Instagram with a follow back notification, and she is absolutely going to slide into his DMs and invite him on.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We found out Prime Minister Albanese watches Married at First Sight and we have so many questions. The friendship breakup conversation hit close to home with Ricki revealing she wrote Ghost about a friend who vanished without explanation and listeners calling in with their own brutal stories. A man asked a woman to transfer her half of a $38 breakfast bill after she politely said no to a second date, which opened up the whole who pays on a first date debate. Today's Glossys covered the 2026 Met Gala looks and there was a lot to discuss. And Sam Fischer came in to play Sing and told the story of finding out Kelly Clarkson covered his song on her talk show, which is the kind of moment that changes everything.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The current fuel supply crisis in Australia is threatening to worsen. The reason is a fire at an oil refinery in Geelong, Victoria, which is affecting production. The incident is extremely bad news for Prime Minister Albanese, who is currently visiting Australia's neighbours in Southeast Asia and is looking for more supplies of gasoline, diesel and kerosene. - Die aktuelle Krise um die Treibstoffversorgung in Australien droht sich zu verschärfen. Grund ist ein Feuer in einer Ölraffinerie in Geelong, in Victoria, das die Produktion beeinträchtigt. Der Vorfall ist eine denkbar schlechte Nachricht für Regierungschef Albanese, der zur Zeit Australiens Nachbarn in Südostasien besucht und für mehr Lieferungen an Benzin, Diesel und Kerosin wirbt.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is travelling to Brunei and Malaysia to boost the nation's fuel supply amid the ongoing crisis. Malaysia and Brunei are key diesel suppliers to Australia, and Albanese has warned these nations could limit supply if the conflict continues. Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says Albanese will leverage Australia's offerings to the regions - including natural gas. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Todd Pinkerton, Campaign Director for Unions NSW, and Lissie Ratcliff, Managing Partner at FMRS Advisory and fmr Chief of Staff to Premier Daniel Andrews, are back this month to answer your burning mailbag questions.This episode of Socially Democratic discusses:

The European Union has negotiated a long-awaited free trade agreement with Australia. So important that EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen came to Canberra in person to sign the document together with Prime Minister Albanese. Business lawyer Dr. Wolfgang Babeck explains what is so important about this agreement. - Die Europäische Union hat ein lang erwartetes Freihandelsabkommen mit Australien ausgehandelt. So wichtig, dass deswegen EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen extra persönlich nach Canberra kam, um zusammen mit Prime Minister Albanese das Dokument zu unterschreiben. Was an diesem Abkommen so wichtig ist, erklärt Wirtschaftsanwalt Dr. Wolfgang Babeck.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has detailed a fuel relief package at the National Press Club, including a temporary cut to fuel excise, increased imports, support for key industries and measures to secure domestic supply. The announcement follows his national address a day earlier, where he warned of prolonged economic impacts from the global energy crisis. While the government says the address aimed to reassure Australians, opposition leaders have criticised it as alarmist and lacking detail.

Kia ora. Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news Trump is about to make a national address (9pm NZT) where he is expected to claim Iran wants a ceasefire (which Iran immediately said was false). Many expect he will pull the US out of NATO as well (although Congress would have to agree for that to be effective). Despite the unhinged nature of it all, markets cheered the likely end of the pointless war he started. Separately, on Saturday we will get the March US non-farm payrolls data which is expected to show a +60,000 gain. The ADP version of private sector employment was out today for March and that showed a similar modest rise (+62,000). But we should also note that February official data for private sector hiring revealed a record low rate. US mortgage applications fell sharply again last week, down a further -10.5% for a third consecutive big drop, which is unprecedented. Refi fell the hardest but new purchase activity was down sharply too. Rising interest rates continue there. The widely-watched ISM factory PMI was little-changed in March from February with the same modest expansion recorded, as signaled in the alternate globally-benchmarked S&PGlobal version. The New Orders Index indicated slower growth compared to the previous month with new export orders actually in contraction. Both observed soaring inflationary pressures, back to pandemic levels. US retail sales rose in February by +3.7% above the year-ago level. This month car sales led the increase. That is a real gain given that February CPI inflation ran at 2.4%. In Canada their March factory PMI shows no growth, no decline. The China S&P Global PMI expanded again, showing growth of output and new orders were maintained in March. But suppliers' delivery times lengthen the most since December 2022. And they also recorded their strongest inflationary pressures, since March 2022. Again, their PMI was slightly more upbeat than the official version. Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia all recorded modest to good factory expansions in March in their respective factory PMIs, and all recorded higher inflation pressures. Interestingly, the Bank of Japan's Tankan survey of businesses there for Q1-2026 shows little negative impact from the current geopolitical situation. Those firms surveyed remain quite upbeat. In Europe, their eurozone factory PMI also expanded, and at a 45-month high. But the inflationary pressures were also very evident in their report. In Australia, yesterday's national address by Prime Minister Albanese warned of a rocky road ahead due to their fuel crisis, and that urgent reforms are required, mainly because previous deregulation has left them uncomfortably vulnerable in this situation. Separately, their main business trade association said their Industry Index fell 19.9 points in March to -23.6, the steepest monthly decline since the initial pandemic phase of early 2020. Industrial activity, employment, new orders and sales indicators all fell markedly in response to the emerging energy crisis. Uncertainty was the main factor, with 30% reporting volatility in fuel prices, freight and/or supply arrangements because of the energy crisis. More than a quarter (26%) of businesses said rising costs were a major pressure – in fuel, freight, raw materials, resins, plastics and packaging. There was a surge in residential consents issued in Australia in February, with 19,022 issued. That is the most for any month since mid-2021. Of note is the rise in Victoria where over 6000 consents were issued. That compares to NSW's 4332 and Queensland's 3890 in February. It is notable that states with relatively lower new-build consenting are those with higher rises in house prices. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.31%, unchanged from yesterday.  The price of gold will start today up +US$142 from yesterday, now at US$4783/oz. Silver is up +US$1.50 to US$76/oz. American oil prices are down -US$1.50 at just on US$100/bbl, while the international Brent price is down -US$2.50 at just under US$102/bbl. Ship transit traffic in the Strait of Hormuz seem to be slowly returning, but on Iran's terms. The Kiwi dollar is another +30 bps firmer against the USD from yesterday, now at 57.7 USc. Against the Aussie we are down another -10 bps at 83.1 AUc. We are up +40 bps against the yen. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at just on 49.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today up +20 bps at just over 61.4. The bitcoin price starts today at US$68,837 and up +1.8% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just under +/- 1.5%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again on Tuesday after the Easter holiday break.

Over in Australia, fuel prices have surged, sparking debate over whether fuel needs to be rationed as the Middle East crisis continues. Prime Minister Albanese has reassured consumers that petrol and diesel supplies remain unchanged and there's no need for anyone to engage in panic buying.

In this episode, host Steve Yates is joined by Andrew J. Phelan, Australian med-tech entrepreneur, former government advisor, and longtime China watcher, for a wide-ranging conversation on the growing global confrontation with the Chinese Communist Party.Phelan reflects on recent events in Australia, including the Bondi tragedy, and examines how information warfare, social media platforms like TikTok, and foreign influence operations are shaping public opinion—especially among younger generations. From there, the discussion expands to Australia's China policy under Prime Minister Albanese, U.S.–Australia alliance dynamics, and the limits of appeasement.The conversation dives deep into the technology Cold War: export controls, semiconductors, AI, supply-chain dependence, Chinese overcapacity, and the role of Western capital in financing China's rise. Phelan argues that 2025 marks a true inflection point—one defined by economic bifurcation, strategic risk, and growing pressure around Taiwan.This episode offers a clear-eyed assessment of where things stand heading into 2026—and why democracies must respond by grounding strategy in values, sovereignty, and long-term discipline rather than short-term convenience.

The much-anticipated face-to-face meeting between Prime Minister Albanese and President Trump has happened, not in the Oval Office but the Cabinet Room of the White House. The PM will be very pleased with how it went, with only one major casualty – embarrassment for Australia's US Ambassador Kevin Rudd, after past tweets critical of the president were brought up, creating some awkwardness. To discuss the dynamics and outcomes of the meeting Darren welcomes Dr. Charles Edel to the podcast, a long overdue guest, and the best-placed individual anywhere to provide insight into these events, and the broader alliance relationship. Why was the meeting needed? While widely agreed to have gone well, what exactly made the meeting a success? What is the status of AUKUS now, and what about critical minerals? And, while he did not have a good time at the meeting, how has Kevin Rudd been an essential part of the process and key to its success? Charles is a senior adviser and the inaugural Australia Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He previously taught at the University of Sydney, where he was also a senior fellow at the United States Studies Centre. Prior to that, Charles was a professor of strategy and policy at the U.S. Naval War College and served on the U.S. secretary of state's Policy Planning Staff.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the “No Kings” protests against President Trump, rising ties between Marxists and Islamists in U.S. politics, the arrest of a Hamas-linked illegal in Louisiana, new calls for deportations of radicalized citizens, and global updates from Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, China, and Australia.   “No Kings” Protests Fall Flat: Millions were expected at anti-Trump demonstrations over the weekend, but turnout reached only one to five percent of Kamala Harris voters. Democrats Abroad rebranded their rallies as “No Tyrants” to avoid offending actual monarchs in Commonwealth nations. Bryan says, “Democrats want no kings — except the real ones.”   Radical Islamist Runs for NYC Mayor: Ugandan-born Marxist Zohran Mamdani appeared at protests alongside Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a former unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Wahhaj has preached jihad abroad and called for an Islamic nation in America through political activism. Bryan cites the UAE's foreign minister warning that “Western naïveté about radical Islam will destroy us.”   Hamas Terrorist Arrested in Louisiana: An illegal immigrant from Gaza, Mahmoud al-Muhtadi, who joined the October 7th Hamas attacks, was living in the U.S. as a Biden-approved resident. ICE also arrested a Texas man offering bounties to kill agents, and a Michigan mayor defended naming a street after a Hamas sympathizer. Bryan warns, “These are the people we've let in — and they want to destroy this country.”   DHS Embraces “Re-Migration” Policy: The Department of Homeland Security announced plans to strip citizenship from naturalized extremists, arguing that fraudulent applications and post-naturalization crimes justify “de-naturalization and return.” Critics call it racist; Bryan calls it overdue.   Trump's Expanding War on Narco-Terror: The U.S. Navy sank another cartel vessel near Venezuela, killing three Marxist rebels linked to Colombia's ELN. Colombian President Gustavo Petro — himself a former terrorist — protested the strike, but Trump said Petro “doesn't want to mess with the United States.” Senator Rand Paul demanded congressional oversight, sparking debate over executive war powers.   China's Internal Purge and the Mineral Wars: President Xi Jinping removed nine generals in the largest purge since Mao, signaling espionage and internal fractures. Meanwhile, Trump meets Australia's Prime Minister Albanese at the White House today to announce joint investments in rare earth minerals and new Pacific supply chains.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: No Kings protest turnout, Zohran Mamdani Imam Siraj Wahhaj jihad, Hamas terrorist Louisiana arrest, DHS remigration denaturalization policy, Trump narco-terror Venezuela Colombia ELN, Rand Paul war powers debate, Xi Jinping purge PLA generals, Trump Australia rare earth partnership

Your intrepid hosts reflect on the many and varied reactions to the slick and stage managed birthing of the Climate Change Authority's advice on a 2035 target and the Government's acceptance of their advice to adopt a target of 62-70% emissions reduction on 2005 levels by 2035. Simultaneously declared “Economy wrecking” (Opposition), “Weak and disappointing” (Greens) and “The sweet spot” (Prime Minister Albanese), it looks like business groups broadly land in the “benign toleration” camp and environment groups unhappy with the bottom end of the range. What do we reckon? The real debate starts now on the level of ambition needed in the policies to get to the top of the range—especially since current policies only get us to about 51% by 2035.Looking for fodder for your own opinion?

Valued at $368 billion, the AUKUS agreement represents a cornerstone of Australia's long-term defence and strategic posture. With the Trump administration now reviewing the pact—and Prime Minister Albanese missing a one-on-one meeting with President Trump at the G7—key questions have emerged about Australia's future security alliances. Defence expert Dr Dalbir Ahlawat explains the significance of AUKUS, the implications of recent diplomatic developments, and the evolving role of strategic partners such as India, France, and Japan in shaping Australia's defence landscape.
