Anthony Albanese is taking to the stage with his partner Jodie Haydon and son Nathan.

There are cheers of ALBO ALBO ALBO and he doesn’t shush them like he did in 2022. He takes a drink of water and says:

My fellow Australians… (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Serving as your Prime Minister is the greatest honour of my life. And it is with a deep sense of humility and a profound sense of responsibility that the first thing that I do tonight is to say thank you to the people of Australia for the chance to continue to serve the best nation on earth.
