Search every verified Anthony Albanese interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Anthony Albanese has been active on international and domestic fronts. He held a phone call with US President Donald Trump, where he discussed AUKUS, trade, and tariffs, and said he requested a "full exemption" from the 12.5% tariff on Australian exports. He also hosted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Melbourne, where the two leaders announced new agreements on defense, security, and critical minerals, and launched a roadmap for sports collaboration. Domestically, Albanese has been promoting his government's agenda, including new national standards for AI, which he said would ensure Australian artists and writers retain control over their work. He has also been a key figure in the passage of major tax and housing reforms, which he has defended as necessary to address a "broken" housing system. Albanese has also weighed in on cultural and social issues. He criticized the AFL's handling of a scandal, calling for the league to "do better," and has spoken about the need for an independent investigation into the death of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom. In a lighter moment, he appeared on the ABC program *Kitchen Cabinet*, where he reflected on his career and personal life. He has also been a vocal supporter of the government's social media ban for under-16s, which he has said will protect children and back parents.

“The courage element is change. The easy thing to do is to sit back, not do change, because any change that's put forward is going to get people who are opposed to it. But you now have a situation where increasingly young people just feel like they haven't got a stake in the system and that they're never going to have the opportunity to own their own home. And the idea you would sit back, know that that's a problem, a”

“We believe very much that tariffs are not in the interests of either the country that is having them imposed on them or the country imposing them. We have a different view, a different perspective.”

“I did raise this issue. I always put forward Australia's national interest during these discussions, and the ask that I made of the president is that he consider full exemption, or at the very least no increase, which is there. We've been subject to the 12.5% tariff.”

“I'm a supporter of voluntary euthanasia. I think it is important that people have the right to die in dignity with dignity, but it's also important that protections be placed around it.
