Our grateful nation thanks Mike Gallagher for his service to the 🇺🇸-🇦🇺 alliance. He has been a true blue champion as a Co-Chair of the Friends of Australia Caucus. Good on you, Mike. You have earned life-long mates from the land down under.

Brilliant to partner with CNN on the opening event for the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Congrats to all players, good sports every one of you. Such a great day, we may have to do it all again next year.

That’s game, set and match! Congratulations to the winners, NSC's Jim Miller & State Department's Nick Snyder, who overcame a fierce field to take home vintage Australiana trophies. A win for politicians everywhere. The Fourth Estate is invited back to seize the prize next year.

To kick off White House Correspondents' Dinner week in Washington DC, some of the country's finest members of the press and political classes joined me & CNN CNN for the #KangarooCup tennis tournament.

AUKUS progress in action. Our thanks, Rep. Joe Courtney.

With the United States, Australia is strengthening our shared economic security. Great discussion about geopolitical challenges and opportunities with Aus Treasurer Jim Chalmers MP, Lael Brainard, Director of the US National Economic Council & Deputy Secretary Kurt Campbell Kurt Campbell.

Proud to say I'm the third Australian Ambassador to the US who has had the good fortune to work with Rep. Gallagher Press Office in his role as a co-chair of the Friends of Australia Caucus. This is an honour well-deserved.

Friend-shoring is vitally important in today's geopolitical landscape. Enjoyed talking alliances for the 21st century and the Indo-Pacific with FL Senior Senator @MarcoRubio, Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intel and senior SFRC member.

A big week for talks about how Australia and the US support a free and open Indo-Pacific. A pleasure to welcome to the Residence @repmoulton @rephaleystevens @repandykimnj @repdeborahross @repauchincloss for friendly discussions on democracy, trade, and deepening our alliance.

Delighted to welcome Charles Oppenheimer to the Residence this week, and to reflect on the twin challenges of nuclear non-proliferation and climate change, and the work he is doing on both. As well as his grandfather’s legacy.

Two former Australian Prime Ministers flying the flag for AUKUS and the benefits of a unified industrial base it will bring at the American Global Strategies Conference yesterday. Scott Morrison. Thanks to Robert C. O'Brien and Alex Gray for bringing everyone together.

My statement on Iran's attack on Israel.

The violent attack against innocent people going about their normal lives at Bondi in Sydney is beyond comprehension. Australians in the US share the sorrow of those at home for the lives lost. Our hearts go out to their families and we hope for a full recovery for those injured.

Some great ideas flying across the table about how to make development finance work for the Pacific, when Australia's Minister for International Development & the Pacific Pat Conroy MP and I sat down with my good friend, World Bank President Ajay Banga.
