Our special guest needs to get back to his job now so we'll have to let Anthony Albanese go now. 

What did you make of that? Should we get more special guests on the blog? Let us know by dropping us a comment. 

Fair to say your stances on a lot of things have shifted since you were a young man, even since you became PM what would young Albanese think of current Albanese?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he thinks young Albanese would be proud that his government is trying to make a difference everyday.

"We've got real wages growing and inflation going down, interest rates falling. That's making a difference to people's living standards who have been doing it tough through Covid and then with global inflation," he says.

He says that also extends to working to introduce cheaper childcare, reducing the gender pay gap and increasing wages. 

Albanese says he's proud his government has taken action on climate change and reset relations with neighbours in the Pacific and Asia.  

"A young Anthony was raised by a mum who understood the difference that a Labor government can make and in particular in health and as a single parent. I'm proud of the difference that we've made in those two areas as well," he says.

A number of you asked about gambling advertisements and if the government would consider banning them in this term of government. 

Anthony Albanese says he doesn't want to make policy on the run, and points to actions the government has already taken. 

"We have done more to reduce gambling harm than any government in history," he says, pointing to the BetStop register. 

"What we know is that people having a punt on the horses on Saturday isn't the problem. The problem is the small number of people who are attracted to problem gambling and, poker machines are overwhelmingly, the largest, problem area."

He says a big concern is about Australians just turning to betting offshore. 

"They engage in gambling with no revenue coming back at all," he says. 

"These things are complex with technology today, and we have been examining a range of areas. We have, made changes such as not being able to use your credit card online."

Why don't we give DV victims an exemption (when it comes to accessing the) to First Home Owner Scheme? in many cases it's women fleeing their homes with kids and then struggle with employment following, while the perpetrator keeps the home, yet the victim isn't offered any support to buy again for 10 years. When will we address the fact that our welfare systems and housing programs designed to "support" victims keep enabling abuse and rewarding abusive people?

Anthony Albanese says it's the first time he's had this suggestion, and he's going to take it on board and talk to ministers Tanya Plibersek and Clare O'Neil about it. 

When will the Child Care Subsidy be amended to allow for coworking spaces with child care, payments to grandparents, nannies and other options to allow parental choice and continuity of care?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says that would be a big change to the says that would be a "very big call". 

"That would be a very big cost on the Commonwealth, on the taxpayer. Someone has to pay for it and it would change the dynamic, I think, of the way that families operate and the implications behind that could be taken in quite a few other directions as well," the PM says.

Are you going to introduce Commonwealth prac payments for more health professions? For example students studying dentistry, psychology, speech therapy, pharmacy.

"That's an interesting question," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says. 

"I'm not making budget commitments during this blog and [on] Instagram but I understand where that's coming from."

So are you considering expanding it?

"We're up for suggestions, they'll feed into our budget processes," Albanese adds. 

The prime minister notes the prac payment scheme has just begun and the government wants to see how it goes first. 

When will you stop giving subsidies to companies who make billions from our assets, and subsidies and make them pay the full Petroleum Resource Rent Tax?

- Asked by TikTok user LongJohn

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Australia's resources sector produces enormous revenue that goes into education, hospitals and employs thousands of people. 

He says the government will look to take advantage of new resources that will power the world in this century.

"A great source of the wealth of this country has been the resources that we have. We are making sure that as we advance forward, we take advantage of the new resources that will power, the world in this century, such as critical minerals and rare earths as well," the PM says. 

Pressed on whether the government will adopt a similar approach to Norway and try and make more money off petrol, Albanese says the government is not willing to create sovereign risk. 

"What we're not willing to do is to create sovereign risk, when a business has investment, those decisions that have been made by past governments, you can't just revisit and create those issues," he says.

Follow up: At what point should Australia pivot and put more pressure on the United States, rather than Israel, over the conflict in the Middle East? 

Anthony Albanese says it's not on us to pressure the United States. 

"It's up to us to state what Australia's position is very clearly and Australia's position has been to call for a ceasefire, to call for the release of hostages, to call for a two state solution in the long-term and engage constructively with that, the right of Israel to continue to exist with security and safety but also the right of Palestine to have their legitimate aspirations for their own state to be realised," he says. 

The PM notes the statements Australia has put out alongside like-minded countries such as the UK, Canada and New Zealand. 

"Australia, as I've said, as much as people would like to think, that somehow the Australian government can change the actions of the Israeli government," he says. 

The PM was asked about Australia sending "non-lethal" F-35 parts to Israel, which are then used for military equipment. The government has been criticised by some, including the Greens, for sending military parts to Israel.

Albanese says it's "nonsense", and that not sending F-35 parts to Israel is it denies the Israeli government ownership of their own actions. 

He says Australia has signed contracts with aircraft manufacturers that it is obliged to meet. 

Albanese says not sending non-lethal parts to Israel would mean that Australia withdraws from a 16 or 17 country supply chain for the F-35 aircraft.

"What it would do were Australia to withdraw from that is to withdraw from participation with those, 16 or 17 countries that are involved in that supply chain," he says.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the government has sanctioned Israeli government officials.

The PM says there are global sanctions on Russia, and that they are directed at oligarchs. 

Albanese says Australia doesn't have a great trading relationship with Russia.

He says Israel is a democracy where people share a range of views and diverse range of opinions, and is different to Russia where opposition is suppressed.

"We've seen the largest demonstrations about the actions of the Israeli government have actually been in Israel, not here in Australia. That stands in stark contrast, with Russia, where the leading opposition figure, no longer is an opposition figure because … he lost his life," the PM says.
