‘I just wanted to say just a big shout out for your warmth and your humanity that just shone through,’ Mr. Albanese began.

‘You talk about stories, but you always shone through with the people behind the stories, and what it really meant,’ he said.

‘And that made a difference.’

The Prime Minister continued: ‘That’s why people feel like they know you, because you weren’t frightened of showing people a lot of yourself on screen and in the way that you interviewed people.’

Earlier in the show, a montage paid homage to Carrie’s outstanding efforts to raise awareness and funds to fight brain cancer, after her husband Greg passed away with the disease in 2010.

The Prime Minister praised Carrie’s advocacy work, telling the star that her efforts in the health area were ‘extraordinary’.

She used her reply to thank Mr. Albanese, before urging the PM to keep funding ‘the brain cancer mission’.
