Fantastic to welcome Indonesian FM Sugiono in Sydney today. Our deep friendship and strategic trust characterises the relationship between our countries. We continue to deepen economic engagement, increase two-way trade and investment, and work to shape our region for the better.

I made myself available for a debate with Angus Taylor MP this Monday on #qanda in his home state. I’ve just been told he has declined. Why is the Shadow Treasurer running from a debate about #budget25 and the economy? #auspol #ausecon

In this year’s Budget, the Albanese Government is reprioritising Australia’s Official Development Assistance to address immediate gaps and vulnerabilities in our region.

This will deliver a 40-year record development investment in the Indo-Pacific – helping to build economic and health resilience, support climate action and keep Australians safe.

Peter Dutton is still refusing to rule out cuts to our development program – but he has said past performance is the best indicator of future practice.

We can’t risk a repeat of the past performance of the Liberals and Nationals. Their cuts left a vacuum for others to fill in our region, making our region less secure.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Biological Weapons Convention.   Since 1975, Australia has strongly supported the BWC’s work in preventing the proliferation of some of the deadliest weapons in history and will continue to do so in the face of new and emerging threats.
