We call on the Iraqi government to uphold the human rights of all its citizens and abandon laws that target and criminalise the LGBTQIA+ community and its supporters. We stand with those around the world who face targeted persecution and discrimination for being who they are.

Proud to support @NStottDespoja as Australia’s candidate for re-election to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. Natasha is a reformer, she is a champion of women’s human rights, and has proven herself as a collaborative & effective CEDAW member.

Australia joins South Africa in celebrating #FreedomDay - marking 30 years since South Africa’s first democratic elections. We remember Nelson Mandela’s extraordinary commitment to peace and progress and the three decades of freedom and democracy it ushered in.

It is always an honour to join the Dawn Service at SA’s War Memorial. ANZAC Day is an opportunity to remember all those who have served our nation in war, conflict and peacekeeping. This year marks 25 years since the Australian-led peacekeeping deployment to East Timor.

We can walk the Kokoda Track today in freedom because of those who fought to keep it free. The bravery of those who made the ultimate sacrifice here lives in our nation’s memory.

This Passover, I hope gatherings with your families and communities bring you strength. As the Prime Minister said in his letter, we know the conflict in the Middle East will cast a shadow over festivities and that the hostages in Gaza are in our prayers. Chag Pesach Sameach.

50 years ago today, Australia and @ASEAN held our first formal meeting to establish our ties. We marked the milestone in March with the 2024 ASEAN-Australia Special Summit. We will continue to work together to secure a more peaceful, stable and prosperous future.

As police continue their investigations, Australians are thinking of those who have been injured, the first responders who rushed to help and the police who worked to restore order. In testing times, Australians stand together.

Australia supports the G7 Leaders' statement unequivocally condemning Iran’s direct and unprecedented attack against Israel. Iran's actions are destabilising and risk provoking an uncontrollable regional escalation. Australia backs the G7's efforts to avoid further escalation.
