PM Morrison Interview with Ben Fordham, 2GB
FORDHAM: The United States wants Australia to step up in an expanded G7. So the G7 is a very outdated group of countries, according to Donald Trump. So what, we'll have a seat at the table in an expanded G7?
PRIME MINISTER: Yeah we’re expecting an invitation there. We actually received one from President Macron last year, it was actually on election night he sent me a text Emmanuel Macron saying congratulations, can you come to the G7 in France? And and again, this year, the United States has indicated they're looking to do something similar. And so we welcome that. And it's a good opportunity to deal with a lot of like minded countries. We always have the opportunity to deal with Japan in particular. And I've got a meeting this week by telepresence with Prime Minister Modi. South Korea being involved, that's good. And of course, the U.K. and France and Germany, these as we're working towards free trade agreements with the European Union and the UK. It's always good to be engaging with like minded democracies.
FORDHAM: You just mentioned Prime Minister Modi in India. I noticed yesterday that you were cooking Indian, you like cooking Indian. But you said instead of the Samosas, you said ‘Sunday Scomosas with mango chutney all made from scratch’. How do the girls appreciate Dad's dad jokes when you go to the Sunday Scomosas?
