Author: Squiz Media April 1, 2026 Duration: 8:44
What happens when a 12-year-old from regional Queensland steps into the shoes of Australia’s Prime Minister… and then sits down with the real one?In this special episode, we head to Parliament House to follow Jett Jarvis, our PM for a Day winner, as he lives a day most adults will never experience.After almost 500 incredible entries from kids right across Australia, Jett’s idea stood out: tackling food waste by helping Australians understand that wonky fruit and veg still taste just as good.You’ll hear Jett sit down with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to ask what it’s really like to lead the country every day, whether the job ever gets tiring, and why it matters for Australians to understand that imperfect fruit and veg are just as good as the perfect-looking ones.It’s a conversation about big responsibilities, small actions that ripple outward, and why young voices matter more than ever.A huge thank you to everyone who entered PM for a Day. Your ideas, creativity, and enthusiasm prove one thing loud and clear: The future is in very good hands!
