Anthony Albanese hit back at the ABC's chief political correspondent after she questioned whether his Government was ambitious enough.

Laura Tingle grilled the Prime Minister on the ABC's 7.30 program on Thursday night, hours after he addressed the Labor party faithful at its national conference in Brisbane.

‘The overwhelming message from your own party is that you aren’t doing enough, whether it be on housing, climate, energy,' said Ms Tingle.

'Should voters be wondering whether you are ambitious enough with what you are trying to achieve in Government?’

Mr Albanese batted back the first salvo with his customary calm, claiming his Government had 'implemented almost every one of the policies that we took to the election'.

But Ms Tingle pressed him further, asking whether any of the measures his administration had brought in had 'really reset policy discussion, whether it be on 'climate, national security or defence'.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese kicked off the national conference with a call to arms ahead of the Voice to Parliament referendum and a scathing takedown of the Liberal party for having a 'pathological problem with ever saying the word Yes

'The memorable ALP conferences that every one gets sentimental about really saw the Government driving the party to change its positions and you're basically fending off the party trying to change your positions,' said Ms Tingle.

The Prime Minister snapped back: 'I don't think that's right, Laura' before reeling off a list of policy achievements relating to climate targets, funding for manufacturing, childcare provision and the upcoming Voice referendum.

While Labor hold a national conference every three years, this is the first in more than a decade in which Labor have been in power

'If you look across the economic, social and environmental agenda, ours is a Government with a sense of purpose that is delivering on what we took to the Australian people in 2022,' said Mr Albanese.

His comments followed his keynote address at Labor's national conference at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre where he issued a scathing takedown of the Liberal party.

He accused the former Liberal party, who he branded the 'Noalition', of having a 'pathological problem with ever saying the word Yes'.

'Never again can the Liberals call themselves the party of fiscal responsibility, when all they left behind was $1 trillion of debt.

'Never again can the Liberals pretend that they support jobs aspiration when all they did was hollow out manufacturing and hold down wages as a deliberate policy.

'Never again, can the party of Robodebt pretend that they care about battlers.

'Because they will stand condemned forever for the illegal hounding of hundreds of thousands of the most vulnerable Australians.'

Mr Albanese revealed his hope to lead a 'long-term government' which 'shapes the future' of Australia.

'We are here to work for Australia, and on behalf of our Labor government, I say to every Australian; we are here to work for you.

'Labor wants to ensure that no-one is left behind. It is what we do, it is part of our character.'

Over the next three days, Labor politicians, business leaders, union members, activists and everyday members will mingle with one another and debate the framework of the government's agenda.

The first day was rocked by protests by a construction union calling for action on the housing crisis and environmentalists.
