JOURNALIST: How was the service?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It was lovely. And it's a wonderful way to begin the parliamentary year. That is a tradition, which is a fine one.
JOURNALIST: What did you reflect on in the service today?
PRIME MINISTER: To hope for the health and wellbeing of all Australians. Thank you.
JOURNALIST: Are you feeling the pressure to deliver on your agenda?
PRIME MINISTER: Every day is an opportunity to deliver for Australians, and this week we will have legislation to do that. But of course, already on July 1, so many of our commitments were met. The increase in people's wages, the increased support for energy bill relief, the range of measures that came in on July 1 that will make a practical difference to people's lives. We'll continue to work hard each and every day in the interest of Australians. Thank you.
