DAVID PENBERTHY, HOST: Well, our pop in hasn't brought cake, but he –
 
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: I’ve brought tax cuts.
 
WILL GOODINGS, HOST: Oh, right.
 
PRIME MINISTER: Tax cuts for every listener.
 
HOST: Let's not talk about the amount.
 
PRIME MINISTER: Tax cuts for every listener.
 
HOST: We want more. We want more.
 
PRIME MINISTER: $2,500 dollars on average for every listener.
 
HOST: You brought tax cuts and a new medical facility down south in the seat of Boothby.
 
PRIME MINISTER: A fantastic medical facility, $150 million from the Commonwealth, $150 million from Flinders. It will be able to treat 100 patients at a time, but importantly as well, it'll be a training facility too, it will be able to train 1,300 work ready health professionals every year, 490 nurses, 250 social workers, more than 100 paramedics, 60 physios, 50 midwives, 24 clinical psychologists. So it really is a great example of working with the tertiary sector to produce that long-term change, because that's been a big issue, is getting a skilled workforce out there.
 
HOST: Now we've been a little bit cynical, bordering on, I admit, disrespectful this morning, PM, we thought you'd sort of decided that now that the election was on, you were going to stop talking to people like us and knock around with the FM stations instead, because you were with our sister station, Nova. Did you get the mystery sound?
 
PRIME MINISTER: I did both. They were good fun. I got beaten by Jodie on the song competition.
 
HOST: Oh, you would have hated that.
 
PRIME MINISTER: I got beaten two one. Two, one. So it was okay, I wasn't completely disgraced, but it was a good bit of fun in there because when I rang in a little while ago, Molly, who was in her first week, doing a, answering the phone, put me on hold, thought it was someone impersonating me for Fringe Festival.
 
HOST: Can I ask? The election campaign proper started on Friday.
 
PRIME MINISTER: We spoke on Thursday.
 
HOST: We did. We did, that was, a fun chat. Did, are you worried that people are saying so early in the piece that you're the man most likely to win? Because a lot of people aren't going to make up their minds till the end? Is there a danger that the complacency –
 
PRIME MINISTER: I never worry about polling. They go up and down. They go up and down during this period as well. There's only one bloke who's spoken about measuring up the curtains at Kirribilli House, and it's not me. So, I don't take anything for granted. Elections are really tough to win, and I'll be working each and every day. But we've got a good agenda. We have a good story to tell about getting inflation down, getting wages up, putting in place cost of living relief, all of which has been opposed by our opponents.
 
HOST: Is this the one SA trip you'll be making during the campaign? Because it's going to be largely won and lost in the east, isn't it?
 
PRIME MINISTER: No. I'll be back here because I have been to South Australia, as you know, more than 20 times as Prime Minister. More than previously. I want to represent the whole country, and I take it seriously. It's not just about where the marginal seats are. It's a responsibility I have to represent the nation.
 
HOST: I don't know what our broadcast range is, but I imagine we might be within earshot of the Chinese spy ship this morning. Anything you want to say to them if they're tuning in?
 
PRIME MINISTER: Oh, look, I think, our people are monitoring out there, so I'm sure –
 
HOST: Send them a cheerio or any advice?
 
PRIME MINISTER: They'll know what people are saying. Just like they'll know what, I'm sure they know what the Australian ships are saying around, the South China Sea.
 
HOST: Well, we know you have to hit the road Prime Minister, to get to Flinders. So thanks for the pop in. And, you know, next time, as Alison was saying, feel free to bring some cake or something like that, come in and say g'day. You probably left it with Nova.
 
PRIME MINISTER: Tax cuts, energy bill relief, cheaper medicines, cheaper childcare.
 
HOST: What more do people want? That's right. What more do people want?
 
PRIME MINISTER: And we're fixing Medicare. We're strengthening Medicare. It's one of the big things, this campaign is, our Government, building the future, strengthening Medicare. And my opponent cutting everything except for your tax.
 
HOST: We will be talking to Anne Ruston after 8:30. We're trying to keep things nice and balanced here. So PM, thanks for joining us this morning. We'll catch up again soon.
 
PRIME MINISTER: Thanks, guys.
