00:00This morning I visited the Governor-General and Her Excellency has accepted my advice

00:11that an election be held on Saturday, 3rd of May, 2025.

00:17How do we address the cost of living pressures?

00:24This is another cost of living relief.

00:26Where's Albanese?

00:27There's nowhere to be seen.

00:29Have you paid a doctor?

00:30I am, yeah, yeah.

00:31All they need is this little green card.

00:33You get 25 cents a litre off petrol, off diesel.

00:36Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:38I'll tell you what we're going to do in an orderly way.

00:41How about that?

00:42People can't have two questions, that's all.

00:44It's a one question rule.

00:46Well, it's an everybody question rule.

00:48I am saving up for a house and so is my sister back.

00:51You're doing pretty well yourself.

00:53Why won't you support him a bit and give him a bit of help with getting this house?

00:58Finish the excellent points I was making.

01:00We can make Australia great again.

01:02Is that an ode to Donald Trump?

01:04No.

01:05If I said that, I don't even realise I said that, but no.

01:07You are condemning young people like me to a lifetime of climate disaster.

01:12Why are you lying to the Australian people about the cost of refuncula?

01:19I stepped off the stage.

01:20I didn't fall over on my backside.

01:24I stumbled.

01:25That's what happened.

01:26I laughed about it at the time.

01:28I laughed about it since.

01:32Oh, come on in.

01:33Tell me you were recording for that.

01:38Is that right?

01:39Yeah, yeah.

01:41Australians can't afford three more years like the last three.

01:44This election is about your future.

01:46It is about your family's future.

01:48And it is about our country's future.

01:50We are determined to keep helping and keep delivering for people under financial pressure.

01:55That is what drives us.

01:57That is why we seek a second term.

02:01The reference I was making shouldn't have been to the president.

02:03It was in relation to sources from the Proboa government.

02:06So was that a mistake?

02:07It was a mistake.

02:09Who have we got here?

02:10Baby.

02:11Baby?

02:12Don't tell Toto.

02:13Yes, they're already intimate.

02:15He doesn't like being referred to as a dog.

02:17Why?

02:18He believes he's human.

02:19I'm having another cuddle.

02:20Another cuddle.

02:21Another cuddle.

02:22That's a nice, beautiful afro.

02:23I'm jealous.

02:24Oh!

02:25Just spit on me!

02:34Millions of people across the globe are in mourning as tributes continue to flow following

02:39the death of Pope Francis.

02:41I will pause my other campaign-related events.

02:45It's appropriate that there's been a pause in the campaign.

02:54We feel them still near us in spirit.

03:00We wish to be worthy of their great sacrifice.

03:04Excuse me, madam.

03:05Are you buddies?
