Troops from Australia, New Zealand, US and UK share a close and enduring bond, and it’s a friendship we value very much today. I was honoured to join a poignant Anzac Day service in Washington DC, at the WW1 Memorial, commemorating Gallipoli and other battles.

We’re taking defence spending to 2.5% of GDP.
