Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now regarding the Prime Minister, our illustrious Prime Minister and
his lack of a meeting with the president, it turns
out that the Aussie mining giants have actually leap frog
the Prime Minister in securing a one on one meeting
with the US President. Albertizi remains one of the few
world leaders yet to meet with the US president. Defense

(00:22):
analysts say the Australia US alliance is under pressure, with
strategic expert Peter Jennings warning the relationship is in its
worst shape in years, and tensions have been further stoked
by the labor leader's recent moves to recognize Palestinian statehood,
which has reportedly caused unease in Washington. But the Prime
Minister has dismissed suggestions that Trump administration is giving him

(00:43):
the cold shorder, pointing to his engagements with senior US lawmakers,
he says, I was the first person to meet with
the incoming speaker when he was appointed. In the US Congress,
I've met with over one hundred people, either Congress representatives
or senators. I met with and hosted about eight reps,
public and Democrat congress people and senators just last week
at Kiribili I traveled to Sydney in order to host

(01:05):
them and to engage with them. Yes, Prime Minister, but
what about a meeting with the president now, Donald Trump
has met in person with leaders from at least fifteen
different countries so far this year. Israel, Japan, India, Poland, Norway,
South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands, United Kingdom,

(01:25):
European Union, Russia, Ukraine, France, but not Australia. So Prime Minister, yes,
you might have met with all these other people, and
that's fine and dandy, and you might have even come
to Adelaide and visited Kangaro Island, but you were yet
to meet with our largest ally, the President of the
United States, Donald Trump. When will it happen?
