Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is on the northwest coast today where families in Latrobe have been crying out for more child care places.

Prime Minister, welcome back to Northern Tasmania.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Wonderful. I'm looking forward to being in Devonport today and also being there in Launceston. So, it'll be a good day with our two relatively new members, Jess and Anne. Anne of course, Anne Urquhart's very familiar as a Senator there, representing the northwest, but now in the seat of Braddon. And of course, Jess Teesdale's done a fantastic start to her work as a Member for Bass.

PRIME MINISTER: I was trying to think. Yeah. Borrow one, surely, make it then available for school fetes on Saturdays. This is how you integrate to the community in the finest tradition of the ABC.
NAPIER: You're an ideas man.
PRIME MINISTER: Exactly.
NAPIER: That's what I'm sensing.
PRIME MINISTER: This is vision.
