Multimillion-dollar UN bid worth the cost: minister
Bidding will likely cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars, but Australia's defence minister says a chance to return to the United Nations' top security table will be worth the price.

Hon. Rita Saffioti, Deputy PM of Western Australia visited #Saipem in Milan.
Saipem is present in #Australia since the ‘60s and is currently working on Scarborough, Ceres, and Jansz-lo Compression projects. Excellent discussion on future opportunities in the energy sector in WA.
Today in Rome, I met with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese @AlboMP. We discussed defense support for Ukraine and cooperation within the Coalition of the Willing. Our conversation also covered the negotiations in Istanbul, increasing pressure on Russia, and which specific sanctions could compel the Russian Federation to stop setting conditions for an unconditional ceasefire.
I’m grateful for Australia’s comprehensive support, for the Abrams tanks that are helping our warriors defend Ukraine. It is a good thing that we have allies from different continents. Together we can truly bring the current situation closer to peace by exerting pressure on Russia.
Australians, Pacific Islanders & New Zealanders contribute a wealth of experience & a unique perspective to the UN food agencies in Rome. It was great to celebrate your contributions to food security and sustainable agriculture with @nzinrome
Australia day is time to reflect on what it means to be an Aussie …where we have come from, who we are as a nation & what we aspire to be.
The strong Italian communities in Australia are central to our national story. We share values of compassion, humility & hard work.

The 3-day stopover in Darwin Australia 🇦🇺 for the @ItalianNavy training ship & the Villaggio Italia certainly made a lasting impression.
Thanks #Italy for visiting, marking a new milestone in our relationship.
