Remembrance Day stands for the generations of Australians who have served in our name.
Every Australian denied the chance to grow old. And everyone who came home, changed forever.
Australians have always fought for peace across the world and it was an honour to lay a wreath in their memory at the Changi Chapel and Museum in Singapore.
Lest we forget.
Whatever this summer brings, we’re ready to respond.
We’re boosting funding for bushfire preparedness and making sure our first responders have the mental health support they need.
Because while we hope for the best, we’ll prepare for the worst together.
Around the world rising costs are putting pressure on family budgets, including at home in Australia.
That’s why I’m here at CHOGM, making sure Australia has a voice in decisions that affect our future.
From tackling AI safety standards to keeping trade open and advancing energy security, we’re working with our Commonwealth partners to make progress.
Standing up for Australia and delivering for Australians back home.
Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on your election victory.
Australia and Brazil are great democracies, and we’ll keep working together and building on our partnership. 🇦🇺🇧🇷
Western Sydney International Airport is now open ✈️
This is what building Australia’s future looks like.
WSI Nancy-Bird Walton Airport will connect Western Sydney and Australia to the world with 24/7 flights.
That means more jobs, opportunity and growth to millions of Australians.
It’s our first new major airport in more than 50 years and a proud day for Australia.
Tomorrow, I’ll be unplugged from my social media channels.
I’m doing it for Mac Holdsworth.
For every Australian child who’s encountered online harm.
And for the parents who deserve a safer digital world for their kids.
Welcome to Australia, His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan. 🇦🇺🇯🇴
For 50 years our nations have worked together to promote peace, strengthen security and help those in need.
At a time of growing uncertainty, that matters more than ever. And working side by side, we can keep making a difference.
Pope Leo XIV is a source of inspiration to Catholics right around the world – and here in Australia.
He is a voice for peace, humanity and reason in our modern world.
My thoughts and prayers are with him as he recovers from his recent surgery.
We hope and pray for a quick recovery.
A safer Pacific with more opportunity matters for Australians. And Palau is an important partner in our region. 🇦🇺🇵🇼
That’s why we’re working together to build more renewables, boost tourism and keep the region safe.
Great to host President Whipps Jr and the First Lady in Canberra today.
25 years since Australia’s service in Afghanistan, our nation pays our deepest respect and gratitude to all who served our country.
We honour those who went and those who fell.
Those who came home wounded in body or soul.
And we honour their families and loved ones.
Lest we forget.
Australia leading on the world stage 🇦🇺
Congratulations to our Speaker of the House @MiltonDickMP on his election as President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
A great honour for Australia and for Milton personally.
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Richard Morecroft. As the face and the voice of the news of the ABC, Richard became a beloved part of Australian life.
Combining a consummate professionalism with an unyielding humanity, Richard was a figure of absolute trust, a warm and familiar presence who guided us through the good times and bad.
He loved the arts and was deeply passionate about our natural environment. Nothing completed the picture so delightfully as the time we learned that he used to keep a baby flying fox safe and sound beneath the desk while he was presenting the news.
Richard was a great Australian and we were lucky to have him as part of our lives.
Our thoughts now are with his partner Alison Mackay.
May Richard Morecroft rest in peace.
Our nation’s thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of the Australian Army soldier who has tragically died during a training exercise in the Northern Territory yesterday.
Our thoughts are also with the five other Australian Army soldiers who were injured in the incident, and we wish them a speedy recovery.
There are no safe or easy days for those who serve in our country's name. This sad incident is a terrible reminder of what families take on when their loved one bravely puts on our nation's uniform.
Every loss and every incident is felt deeply by the broader Defence family, but by none more so than their mates who served alongside them. We think of them today and every day.
We ask that all Australians respect the privacy of Defence members and families at this saddest of times.
The ADF will provide further updates when possible.
