@RichardMarlesMP Lest we forget

[Joel Fitzgibbon @fitzhunter]

My thoughts and those of my family are with all those tragically affected by the ADF training incident at the Mount Bundey Training Area. It’s an another reminder that training exercises are a preparation for war and are risky in and of themselves. Lest we forget.

Apples & oranges maybe but when the mighty @NRLKnights defeated the @TheParraEels in 2001 the cash rate was 4.5%. When we prevail over the in-form @sydneyroosters on Sunday night it will be 4.6%. Just sayin!

Devastating news coming out of Bondi tonight. I’m angry & distressed for the victims, their loved ones, the Jewish & broader local community, and our first responders. This is an attack on us all. Strong, wise, & decisive leadership will be needed now. @SkyNewsAust

A nice and interesting catch-up @SenRaffCiccone

[Senator Raff Ciccone @SenRaffCiccone]

Great to join my good friend Joel Fitzgibbon in welcoming Johan Büser and Erik Ezelius from the Swedish Riksdag to Parliament House.

We discussed defence, security and trade as part of their work on Sweden's Defence and Foreign Affairs Committees.

Australia and Saudi Arabia share more than people realise, with similar sized economies, resource based foundations and a shared ambition to build their future through innovation.

Some reflections from speaking at the ANZUK Saudi Forum. 🧵

[Wyatt Roy @WyattBRoy]

🇸🇦🇦🇺 “The most exciting story of the 21st century.”

That’s how HRH the Crown Prince described Saudi Arabia, and it’s hard to disagree.

Spoke at the ANZUK Saudi Forum and caught up with mates and former colleagues, former Defence Minister @fitzhunter and former Trade and Investment Minister @StevenCiobo

What were you trying to achieve
Sarah Ferguson during your interview with PNG PM James Marape tonight? Whatever you were thinking, you were certainly not acting in Australia’s national interest. @abc730

[Joel Fitzgibbon @fitzhunter]

The NSW Planning Commission’s decision on the Redbank Power Station is disappointing.
The proposal to re-commission the 150 MW generator and to fuel it with biomass seems a win-win for the environment and our struggling energy system.
It would also be a win for farmers. 🤷‍♂️

How can the ACF appoint
@AdamBandt as its CEO when he continues to say our biggest export earners “pay no tax” when it’s completely untrue? It seems the ACF has little integrity as an organisation!

@creade1 dedicated herself to the work of the @CrawfordFund for 37 years.
Tonight we said thank you and farewell. Cathy’s service (and that of her family) to our nation has been outstanding.
