00:00After spending the morning in Sydney, Anthony Albanese is back in the Sunshine State.
00:07This time in the far north.
00:09Labor holds just 5 of 30 seats in Queensland and sees little opportunity to make gains.
00:15But it does have its eye on Leichhardt where Anthony Albanese is doing his second press conference of the day.
00:21It's a coalition held seat but popular MP Warren Ench is retiring, leaving open the possibility of Labor wresting it away.
00:29It's promising to spend almost $250 million for a new bridge over the Barron River on the Kennedy Highway in this electorate.
00:37The Prime Minister was this morning swapping the political market of ideas to tour one of Sydney's most famous shopping markets.
00:44He hit back at the US Trade Representative's comments about why the Trump administration put a 10% tariff on Australian goods.
00:52Jameson Greer says the US should be running up the score in Australia, a sporting term.
00:57That means continuing to score heavily on an opponent when you're already winning.
01:01Mr Albanese has again argued Australia should have been exempt from the tariffs.
01:06He also took a swipe at the coalition's gas reservation policy modelling, which says power prices will come down,
01:12and was asked whether his energy policies would bring down prices.
01:16There's a bit of talk today about gas from Peter Dutton.
01:21Well, you know, he doesn't need gas for his cookers.
01:24If he wants to find cookers, he can just look at his party room, because it's full of it.
01:29He got rid of the Whitlam candidate, now he's got another one who's got problems.
01:33This guy here is a shocker, and people shouldn't vote for him.
01:37This is the Prime Minister's third trip to Queensland so far this campaign,
01:42and further south the party is eyeing off the Greens held seats of Brisbane and Griffith.
01:47Hand me.
01:57He's got hit.
01:58He's got hit.
01:59He's got a big fan.
02:00I've got a big fan on the left side of the Cardiff and I'm trying to get hit.
02:03He's got hit.
02:04It's a big fan.
02:06I'm trying to do this.
02:07I'm trying to do some things.
02:09No, there's a big fan on the left side of it.
