STATEMENT ON CAULFIELD PROTESTS
The behaviour we saw last night in Caulfield by individuals provocatively protesting in an area home to many people of the Jewish faith was absolutely disgusting.
It was a deliberate act of incitement designed to end in violence. And…
Wonderful to catch up again with a great friend of Australia,
@narendramodi

Proud of the special and growing relationship Australia has with India and may it go from strength to strength in the years ahead 🇦🇺🇮🇳
The Coalition stands with Israel always because Israel is Australia’s long-standing ally.
We stand with Israel in the wake of Hamas’ acts of depravity.
And we stand with Australians of Jewish faith and utterly condemn any anti-Semitic behaviour.
Grateful to spend time with…
Australians will be in shock this evening at the tragic and terrifying events which have taken place at Westfield Bondi Junction.
We grieve for the five people who have been killed.
We pray for those who have been rushed to hospital with injuries.
We are thinking of all those…
This is the referendum that Australia did not have to have.
The proposal – and the process – should have been designed to unite Australians, not divide them.
What we have seen is Australians in their millions reject the Prime Minister’s divisive referendum.
The Coalition,…
The scenes last night in Sydney at the Opera House of burning the Israeli flag, and chanting hateful slogans at Jewish people were despicable - and they have no place in modern Australia.
I condemn these actions totally and unequivocally.
These awful scenes are a reminder of…
The scenes of antisemitism that we have seen in recent weeks have no place in our country.
The Prime Minister must convene an urgent meeting of National Cabinet to ensure steps are taken by all States and Territories to ensure Jewish Australians are safe in their communities.
The Deputy Prime Minister was asked three times this morning to explain his government’s new superannuation policy and he couldn’t. When Labor run out of money, they come after yours. What a mess.
I’m feeling much better this morning - thank you to everyone for your well wishes. I was really disappointed to see comments by
@Bowenchris
seeking to make political advantage.
The Coalition utterly condemns the unprovoked and abhorrent attack by militant Hamas on Israel. It is yet another example of a deliberate act of violence intended to inflict maximum harm on innocent civilians. The attack is a provocation. Israel has every right to defend itself…
It takes a lot of effort with a special blend of weakness and incompetence for our Prime Minister to turn his back on our closest ally, a decision that could only be welcomed by Hamas (a listed terrorist organisation).
Doesn’t that say it all?
OPINION: The likely decision reveals a timid and insular government, afraid, unwilling or unable to send a single warship to the world’s most pressing maritime hot zone:
The actions by these protesters were disgraceful.
They were clearly intended to intimidate those Israelis whose loved ones have been killed or taken hostage by Hamas. These actions threatened Australians of Jewish faith.
Only by holding those accountable for hate speech can we…
Pro-Palestinian activists have sparked outrage after they stormed a Melbourne hotel where friends and families of Israeli hostages were reliving their ordeals >
84 hardcore criminals have been released into our communities from detention.
Where is the Prime Minister?
The Prime Minister should be in Parliament today while we deal with his government's mess which is endangering community safety.
The Coalition would strongly support the Government in following Germany’s lead and illuminating Parliament House and the iconic Sydney Opera House in strong support of our friends and family in Israel.
The Prime Minister should direct his hand-picked High Commissioner to reverse this bad decision. Australia Day is our national day and it shouldn’t be cancelled like this.
EXCLUSIVE
Anthony Albanese's hand-picked High Commissioner to the UK has cancelled London's iconic Australia Day Gala, citing "sensitivities" around how gathering for the national day might appear to those at home.
"It is well known that Australia Day touches on sensitivities…
Premier Palaszczuk has almost bankrupted Queensland, and now in the middle of a crisis they want to buy an airline. It is laughable. She “leads” a government which is corrupt and chaotic.
Australia has lost its finest cultural raconteur, its most brilliant satirist, and its greatest cultural comedian with the passing of the witty and wonderful Barry Humphries AO CBE.
He will forever be a treasured Australian icon.
May he rest in peace.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jews who were the victims of the Nazi regime.
We commemorate the lives of all those killed on October 7. And we pray for those people still held hostage by Hamas.
A Coalition Government will provide $8.5…
Richard Di Natale supported decisions that resulted in 1200 people drowning at sea. His comments today are self-indulgent and promote nothing more than his own failed agenda. They are disgusting and should be condemned.
It is deeply disappointing that the Greens and some Teal MPs politicised a motion in support of Israel today in the Parliament.
A terrible moment on what should have been a unifying motion - these Teal MPs should be condemned for their disgraceful support of the Greens.
The only Australians who think it is okay to have speeches vetted by the Chinese Govt are Anthony Albanese and Richard Marles. Don't risk our national security with Labor.
We need cheaper power, we need consistent power and we need to move towards cleaner power.
Only by becoming a latest generation nuclear-powered nation can we deliver on these three energy goals for Australia.
Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺
We live in the greatest country in the world and this is a day for all Australians to celebrate everything that is good about our country, particularly our people.
We can’t run the risk of foot-and-mouth disease reaching our shores. This is a matter of national significance. The Prime Minister needs to tell Australians what he’s doing to manage this serious risk.
These are hard-core criminals released into our community by a weak Prime Minister and his government.
How many have been locked up by new laws introduced last year following the government’s bungled release of these detainees? Zero.
A few minutes ago I spoke with Malcolm Turnbull to advise him I believed the majority of the party room no longer supported his leadership. Accordingly, I asked him to convene a party room meeting at which I would challenge for the leadership of the Parliamentary Liberal Party.
The Prime Minister’s weak leadership on national security is clearly incentivising the people smugglers to reopen their operations, risking a return to the human tragedy we saw with 1,200 deaths at sea during the Rudd and Gillard years.
The PM abolished temporary protection visas which was a core and essential pillar to Operation Sovereign Borders. When Albo looks you in the eye and says OSB hasn’t changed — remember his word is his bond.
On the announcement of his retirement — and on behalf of the Coalition — I want to thank Scott for his service to our nation, for his dedication to the Liberal Party, and for his personal friendship.
My best wishes to him, his wife Jenny, and their daughters Abigail and Lily.
On the day bodies are being recovered and grieving families are making funeral preparations you are seeking to make some nonsensical and pathetic political point for attention.
@RichardDiNatale
you’ve confirmed your status as a disgrace.
Politicians like Peter Dutton, who said settling Lebanese Muslims was a mistake, contributed to this. When media outlets like SKY News ran footage of a killer whose intent was to magnify a message of hate, they contributed to this.
21 years ago, 88 Australians lost their lives in the Bali bombings. To this day, the bombings in Bali represent the largest loss of Australian lives from a terrorist incident.
The Bali Bombings are a reminder that fear and terror will never snuff out the flame of the human…
How is this possible in any part of our country. There should be outrage in every newspaper. A suspended sentence. It is appalling. What sort of message is that sending to deter domestic and family violence. The maximum penalty is 14 years.
Queensland kids should be back at school and the only reason they’re not is because the Premier is running scared of the militant QTU. Premier
@AnnastaciaMP
it’s time to put the interests of our Qld kids ahead of the union bosses.
Cameron Caldwell will be a great voice for Fadden locals as their new federal MP.
The people of Fadden have delivered a clear message to Anthony Albanese tonight that they want the government to address cost of living pressures and local crime.
Eight potential illegal immigrants have been returned to Indonesia after a people smuggling vessel targeting Australia was intercepted by Australian authorities.
All eight people on board were safely turned back to Indonesia.
We're catching more and more depraved individuals who access child abuse material online. Keeping kids safe from sexual predators is one of my highest priorities.
There is no place in our community for foreign nationals who murder Australians. We are continuing to keep our country safe by cancelling more than 5,510 visas of foreign criminals who commit crimes in Australia.
It’s not for me to offer KK advice, but it might be a good idea to get a security briefing from the Dept before she makes any more embarrassing statements or policy on the run
#worsethanneumann
We're cracking down on price gouging during this crisis. The Coalition Government will also ban the export of masks, hand sanitiser, alcohol wipes and more. Goods that aren't defective will be added to the National Medical Stockpile.
Peak business groups and unions are calling for the moratorium on nuclear power to be lifted, amid a push to ensure Australia is “technology agnostic” during its transition to cut emissions. It's time to have the discussion.
Albo criticising the ADF over the flood response is a bit rich given he cut defence spending to its lowest level since 1938. The men and women of the ADF are doing outstanding work.
The scenes at the QLD-NSW border yesterday were gut wrenching. It is a disgrace to put people through that anguish. Bring them home Premier

On Remembrance Day, may the weight of the collective deeds of all Australians who have served in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations throughout our history be imperishably enshrined in our hearts.
May the sacrifice of so many in war forever reside in our national…
An extraordinary life which touched so many has sadly come to an end. The last page has been inked on an exceptional reign. Thank you, Your Majesty, for everything. My statement on the death of Queen Elizabeth II:
Changing our Constitution to enshrine a Canberra Voice Bureaucracy will take our country backwards, not forwards.
The Prime Minister is dividing with his Voice proposal, not uniting us.
The cost of Australia’s favourite family cars could increase by up to $25,000, under Anthony Albanese’s proposed new car and ute tax.
This policy will hit families who rely on SUVs to get their kids to school and tradies who rely on utes to do their job.
We've cancelled the visas of a record number of foreign criminals. Even during the coronavirus crisis, our work to protect Australians continues.

The Australian Border Force have been vindicated today by the Walker Inquiry into the Ruby Princess. If Kristina Keneally had any decency she would offer a full apology to the ABF officers she has slandered and defamed in recent months.
The ABF Commissioner, Michael Outram APM, has released a statement in relation to findings of the NSW Special Commission of Inquiry into the Ruby Princess. Read the full statement at:
A very brave man tragically died overnight. Alexei Navalny sought to save his country from a murderous dictator. He had been poisoned, tortured and wrongly imprisoned. Ultimately he gave his life for a country and people he loved. And his passing should be mourned.
I am genuinely shocked to see Murpharoo take up a spot to now be officially running lines for Labor. The real outrage is David Crowe missed out. What more must he do to prove his credentials to formally be employed by the Labor Party?
#givecroweago
How can the Prime Minister possibly blame Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for his broken promise to lower power prices by $275? He made that promise after the invasion had begun.
Well said by the Prime Minister in condemning neo-Nazis. I’ve made these points before in relation to neo-Nazis and strongly support the PM’s comments. They are a sick cult which has no place in our society. There is no place for hate in our society.
Australians are facing a cost-of-living crisis, power prices are continuing to spiral out of control and the Prime Minister said “it has been a good 10 months”.
Shocked and saddened to hear of Simon Crean’s passing.
Simon was a gentleman to deal with and a giant of the Labor movement.
I always admired Simon for his intellect and decency and only saw him recently in Melbourne.
Condolences and best wishes to his wife Carole and his…
The Albanese government released hard-core criminals onto our streets, was forced to rush through new laws to re-detain them and now hasn't even bothered to try to re-detain any of them.
The Prime Minister, Government ministers, Teal independents and the Greens are all strangely silent on this story today - despite voting for and endorsing the government’s rushed legislation less than two weeks ago.
Annastacia Palaszczuk and Labor have almost bankrupted Queensland and they can't even get their trains to run on time. How on earth could they run an airline?
A big thank you to the staff & officers of the AFP, ASIO, ABF, AUSTRAC, ACIC and Home Affairs for working over the Christmas / New Year period to keep us safe today & everyday.
Why is the South Australian Premier prepared to have a mature discussion about the role of zero emissions nuclear technology, but not the Prime Minister?
I congratulate Liz Truss on her election as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
@trussliz
is an incredibly intelligent, pragmatic and courageous leader who will not only make a fine Prime Minister but also lead Britain through challenges domestic and foreign.
Shocking behaviour by CFMEU thugs storming a Brisbane office block yesterday. Good to see the Premier has condemned these actions. The Prime Minister should similarly pull the CFMEU into line and stop taking their donations.
Yvette made a mistake this morning - who cares - she apologised and we moved on. The real priority is to get home not just our troops but other Queenslanders who have been separated from their families for way too long.
We grieve for the six people who were murdered, we pray for those who were injured and are thinking of all those families whose lives have been changed forever.
Thank you to the police officers, first responders and everyday Australians who acted so quickly to save others. In…
We live in a great country where a justice system can finally bring a predator like Chris Dawson to account for his disgusting actions and treatment of his wife.
When Labor was last in government with the Greens, Defence spending was cut to its lowest level since 1938. Don't risk our national security with Labor.
The Palaszczuk Government is corrupt. The campaign caps are a rolled gold con designed to benefit the unions and GetUp. With this modern day gerrymander Annastacia Palaszczuk makes Sir Joh look like a novice. Queenslanders should be outraged at this corrupt Government.
Our thoughts and prayers are with our great friend Abe and his family. He is a man of incredible decency and a great ally to Australia. A shocking act of violence which has no place in any society.
Australians were shocked and horrified by the stabbing last night of Bishop Emmanuel at the Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Western Sydney.
Our thoughts are with Bishop Emmanuel and the parishioners at the church who witnessed the attack and went to the aid of the Bishop.…
Deeply distressing news coming out of western Queensland tonight with those police officers who have been murdered. Police officers face danger every day to keep us from it.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have tragically lost their lives as a result of extreme weather events across our country.
At what is meant to be a time of joy and happiness, this will be particularly tough news for the families who are dealing with these tragedies.…
Heartfelt wishes to His Majesty King Charles III as he undergoes his treatment. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time. Long live the King.
